# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between creamy Nutella and tangy brie is shockingly good, especially with savory chicken cutting through the sweetness.
  • It comes together in under twenty minutes with ingredients you probably already have on hand.
  • Every bite feels indulgent without being overly complicated or fussy.
02 -
  • Do not crank the heat too high or the bread will char before the cheese melts, leaving you with a burnt outside and cold center.
  • Slice the chicken thin and make sure it is fully cooked beforehand so it warms through quickly without drying out.
03 -
  • Press the sandwich gently with your spatula while it cooks to help the cheese melt evenly and the layers stick together.
  • Let the sandwich rest for a minute after grilling so the Nutella sets slightly and does not ooze out everywhere when you slice it.
