Instructions:

Boil the Chicken: Start by boiling the chicken breast. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook until tender. Once done, drain the water and let the chicken cool. Shred it using a knife or fork and set it aside.
-
Cook the Chicken Mixture: Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the homemade pizza and pasta sauce to the pan. Stir in chopped basil leaves, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
-
Add Shredded Chicken: Now, add the shredded chicken into the pan. Let it cook for a few minutes, absorbing all the flavors. Add 1 tablespoon each of mozzarella and your choice of cheese. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
-
Prepare the Sandwich: Spread melted butter on the outer sides of your sandwich bread. Stuff the bread with the cheesy chicken mixture. Top with more of the grated cheese. Place another slice of bread on top.
-
Grill the Sandwich: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Place the sandwich in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
-
Serve: Once the sandwich is done, slice it in half and serve with your favorite beverage, like espresso coffee, for an ideal evening snack. This sandwich is also a great addition to any tea party, alongside other tasty snacks.
