Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

4 slices of thick-cut garlic bread (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon butter, softened

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Fresh arugula or spinach for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the mixture and place them on a baking sheet.

      Bake the Chicken:

        Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding it using two forks.

          Mix the Cheesy Filling:

            In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

              Prepare the Garlic Bread:

                If using homemade garlic bread, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread a thin layer of softened butter over one side of each slice of garlic bread. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning for added flavor.

                  Assemble the Sandwich:

                    On the non-buttered side of the bread, generously spoon the cheesy chicken mixture, spreading it evenly. Top with another slice of garlic bread, buttered side up.

                      Grill the Sandwich:

                        Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

                          Serve:

                            Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half for easier handling, and garnish with fresh arugula or spinach if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy goodness!
