Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a bowl, thoroughly combine the ground chicken, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, and grated Parmesan cheese. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Spread the mixture evenly in a thin layer over one side of each Texas toast slice, ensuring it reaches the edges. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and place half of the toasts, chicken-side down, into the hot skillet. Lightly press down on each one with a spatula to ensure good contact. (Cook time prep: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Cook the toasts undisturbed until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 4 minutes. (Cook time: 4 minutes)

05

Step

Flip the toasts, reduce the heat to low, and top each one with 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce and 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

06

Step

Cover the skillet, turn off the heat, and let the toasts stand until the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes. (Cook time: 2 minutes)

07

Step

Repeat the process with the remaining toasts. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Cook time: varies)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried oregano or basil to the chicken mixture.
Ensure your skillet is properly heated before adding the toasts to achieve a crispy, golden-brown chicken layer.
If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your liking.
Feel free to use your favorite marinara sauce or even a homemade version for enhanced flavor.
