Expert Tips for Perfect Cheesy Chicken Sandwich
Chicken Selection: Pound chicken evenly for consistent cooking - uneven thickness will result in dry or undercooked areas.
Cheese Patience: Melt cheese in oven for best coverage - stovetop melting can burn before fully melting.
Bread Quality: Use sturdy brioche buns that can support heavy fillings without becoming soggy.
Temperature Control: Medium-high heat prevents burning while ensuring crispy golden coating throughout.
Assembly Order: Build sandwich strategically with mayo as barrier to prevent bread from getting soggy.
Serving Tip: Sandwich tastes best when served immediately while chicken is hot and cheese is melted.
