Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup steamed broccoli finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- salt & pepper to taste
- 8-10 slices of your favorite bread
- 2 tbsp butter plus extra if needed
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, broccoli, cheddar, Parmesan, garlic powder, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and salt & pepper.
- Divide the mixture evenly between four of the bread slices, and top with another slice of bread.
- Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat.
- Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Covering the pan with a lid during cooking will help the inside get all warm and gooey before the bread gets too browned.
Notes
- Covering the pan with a lid during cooking will help the inside get all warm and gooey before the bread gets too browned.
- Feel free to switch up the mayo and Dijon with other condiments if you prefer. A good substitute would be 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing.
- While the recipe calls for cheddar and Parmesan, you can use any cheese you like.
