FAQs
Can I use raw chicken instead of cooked chicken?
It’s best to use cooked chicken to ensure it’s fully done and safe to eat. Using raw chicken would require longer baking and may dry out the bread.
What can I use if I don’t have garlic bread?
You can use regular bread and spread garlic butter on it before assembling the sandwich to create a similar flavor.
