- Protein variation: Replace the chicken with smoked turkey slices or thinly sliced ham.
- Vegetarian variation: Omit the chicken and add grilled vegetables (eggplant, peppers) or fresh spinach.
- Cooking tip: If the bread is very thick, pre-toast it for 1 minute before adding the fillings for a perfectly crispy result.
