Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 loaf of your favorite artisanal bread, sliced
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and toss to ensure each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on each slice of bread, covering the surface evenly.
- Assemble and Bake: Carefully arrange the marinated chicken slices on top of the cheese-covered bread. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serving: Once baked, remove the chicken bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use high-quality bread for the best taste and texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the spice level to suit your preference.
- Experiment with toppings like tomatoes, onions, or bell peppers.
