A warm, open-faced sandwich made with a simple chicken mixture, toasted bread, and melted cheese — finished with fresh toppings for a little contrast.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

  • 5 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 2 teaspoons honey mustard

  • 1 stalk celery, diced

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • pinch of black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons parsley

  • 6-8 slices bread (or any bread you have)

  • 6-8 slices cheese or 1 cup shredded cheese

  • thinly sliced red onion(optional)

  • sliced tomatoes(optional)

Optional seasonings to taste

  • garlic powder

  • onion powder

  • Cajun seasoning

Instructions

  • 1. Make the chicken mixture
    In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, honey mustard, celery, salt, pepper, and parsley.
    It should be creamy but still have some texture from the chicken and celery.

  • 2. Toast the bread
    Toast your bread slices until lightly crisp. This helps them hold up under the topping.

  • 3. Assemble the melts
    Spread a generous layer of the chicken mixture onto each slice of toast.
    Top with cheese.

  • 4. Broil until melted
    Place under the broiler for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    Keep an eye on it — it goes quickly.

  • 5. Finish and serve
    Remove from the oven and top with sliced red onion, tomatoes, or whatever you have on hand.
    Serve warm.
