Instructions
- Prepare the bread:

- Assemble the sandwich:
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Layer on one slice of mozzarella cheese, followed by the cooked chicken, marinara sauce, Parmesan cheese, and the second slice of mozzarella.
- Top with the second bread slice, buttered side up.
- Grill the sandwich:
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
