Grilled Chicken Three-Cheese Sandwich is a savory delight that’s filled with tender grilled chicken and a medley of three delectable cheeses. It’s not heavy or overly greasy either. I think it’s a perfect lunchtime or casual dinner sandwich, and if you’re not a fan of one of the cheeses, feel free to omit it or substitute with your favorite.
It will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a satisfying & flavorful meal that’s not overly rich, you’ve come to the right place. When you combine perfectly grilled chicken with a trio of melted cheeses and toast it all together in a golden, crispy sandwich, you get the perfect bite. The addition of fresh ingredients just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for hearty yet refined meals, and this gourmet sandwich reminds me of cozy dinners. Not a fan of one of the cheeses? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious with your preferred choice.
