Ingredients:

  • 2 High-quality frozen breaded chicken patties
  • 4 Thick slices of Sourdough bread
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 cup Shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Marinara sauce
  • 4 leaves Fresh basil (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the frozen chicken patties according to package directions, preferably in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes until the coating is deep golden and internal temperature is hot.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix until smooth. Note: This creates a compound butter that flavors the bread more effectively than just oil.
  3. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly onto one side of each sourdough slice.
  4. Place two slices of bread, butter side down, in a cold non stick skillet. Layer 1/4 cup of mozzarella on each slice until the bread surface is completely covered. Note: This is your moisture barrier!
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over the cheese, then place the cooked chicken patty on top.
  6. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and the remaining mozzarella over the patty.
  7. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter side up.
  8. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is mahogany brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  9. Press down gently with a spatula halfway through to help the layers fuse together.
  10. Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute before slicing diagonally to keep the cheese from running out.
