Instructions
- Shred the cooked chicken into fine, uniform pieces in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring no large chunks remain.

- Preheat a skillet to medium heat, allowing the surface to reach optimal temperature for grilling.
- Carefully place the assembled sandwich into the heated skillet, monitoring the browning process.

Notes
- This quick and indulgent sandwich transforms leftover chicken into a mouthwatering meal that combines creamy, cheesy goodness with crispy garlic bread.
- Use freshly shredded chicken for the best texture and flavor, avoiding pre-packaged options that can taste dry or bland.
- Grill the sandwich slowly to achieve a perfectly golden-brown exterior and ensure the cheese melts completely without burning the bread.
- Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick that elevates the simple chicken mixture, creating depth of flavor in every bite.
- Select a high-quality mozzarella and Parmesan cheese that melts smoothly and creates those irresistible cheese pulls when you cut the sandwich.
