Frequently Asked Questions
- → What's the best bread to use?
Thick-cut sourdough or French bread work best as they can hold up to the fillings and get crispy when toasted. Avoid very soft bread that might get soggy.
- → Can I prep components ahead?
Make garlic butter ahead and store in fridge. Cook chicken in advance and reheat when assembling. Best to toast bread and melt cheese just before serving.
- → How do I prevent dry chicken?
Don't overcook the chicken breasts. Cook until just done (165°F internal temperature) and let rest before slicing to keep juices inside.
- → Can I use different cheese?
Any melting cheese works well. Try provolone, Swiss, or pepper jack. Combine different cheeses for more complex flavor.
- → Why isn't my cheese melting well?
Use freshly grated cheese rather than pre-shredded for better melting. Keep heat medium-low when melting to prevent burning the bread.
