Preparation

- Top each chicken breast with shredded cheese and cover the skillet briefly to melt the cheese.
Assembling the Sandwich

- Grill the sandwich over medium heat until the bread is golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Once toasted and cheese is melted, slice sandwich diagonally and serve hot.
