INGREDIENTS

  • Chicken

    • 1 pound ground chicken

  • Seasoning

    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • Cheese

    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Bread

    • 1 package frozen garlic flavored Texas toast

  • Oil

    • 4 teaspoons olive oil

  • Sauce

    • 1/2 cup marinara sauce

  • Cheese

    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

STEPS

1

Combine ground chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan in a bowl. Spread mixture in a thin layer over one side of each toast, being sure to reach the edges of the bread.

2

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons oil and place half of the toasts, chicken side down, in the hot skillet, lightly pressing down on each one with a spatula.

3

Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Flip, turn heat to low, and top each toast with 1 tablespoon marinara sauce and 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese.

4

Cover the skillet and turn off the heat, and let stand until the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining toasts.
