Ingredients:
2 slices of whole-grain or low-carb bread
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
1/4 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil or a non-stick cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Cook and shred or slice the chicken breast if not already done. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Assemble the Sandwich:
Spread a thin layer of sugar-free marinara sauce on one side of each bread slice.
Layer the shredded chicken over the sauce on one slice of bread.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
Optionally, sprinkle dried basil and garlic powder for extra flavor.
Top with the other slice of bread, sauce side down.
3. Cook the Sandwich:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or use non-stick cooking spray.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
4. Serve:
Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Serve hot.
By using whole-grain or low-carb bread and a sugar-free marinara sauce, this version is more suitable for a diabetic diet.
