I thought the sandwiches were a little bland. I added some garlic and onion powder to the chicken before cooking it, and that helped a lot. I also used a sharp cheddar cheese instead of the mozzarella, which gave the sandwiches a nice bite.

I wasn't sure about the combination of chicken and cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches were really tasty and the chicken was tender and juicy. I'll definitely be making these again.

This recipe is a keeper! The sandwiches were easy to make and turned out great. I used a rotisserie chicken and it worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing!

I made these sandwiches for lunch today and they were delicious! I used a sourdough bread and added some avocado to mine. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey.

These Athenian chicken grilled cheese sandwiches were a hit with my family! The chicken was flavorful and juicy, and the combination of cheeses was perfect. I especially loved the addition of the roasted red peppers, which added a nice smoky flavor.
