Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 slices Bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or white)
• 4 slices Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Cook the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.

Step 5

Assemble each sandwich by layering 1 slice of cheese, a cooked chicken breast (sliced if preferred), and another cheese slice between two slices of bread, with the mayonnaise side facing out.

Step 6

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 7

Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding the remaining butter as needed.

Step 8

Remove sandwiches from the skillet, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half and serve.
