Notes

This chicken grilled cheese is a versatile dish that can be modified to suit your taste. Try adding vegetables like spinach or avocado for a healthier spin.
For an extra flavorful sandwich, consider using mayonnaise instead of butter on the outside for a crispy, richer crust.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to two days and reheated in a toaster oven to maintain crispiness. For meal prep, assemble and freeze individually, cooking them directly from the freezer when ready.
Don’t rush the cooking; low and slow will give you the best golden-brown result. Avoid overloading with fillings to keep the sandwich intact.
