Chicken Filling

To Serve

Method

Preparing the Chicken Filling

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced red onion, and garlic aioli. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated and combined.

Assembling the Melt

  1. 2

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. While the skillet is heating, take two slices of bread and spread butter on one side of each slice.

  2. 3

    Place the unbuttered side of the bread down on the skillet. On top of the bread, layer half of the chicken filling mixture, then sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

  3. 4

    Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.

  4. 5

    Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden brown.

  5. 6

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half.

Serving

  1. 7

    Repeat the assembly process with the remaining ingredients to make a second sandwich. Serve the chicken melts warm with your favorite side.
