Ingredients

  • 1 batch Spicy Chicken Salad
  • 2 slices your favorite bread, a thicker sliced bread is always nice!
  • 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese (or your fav cheese!)

Instructions

  • Toast your bread slices the way you normally like it. Evenly spread the chicken mixture over each slice. Top each with a slice or two of cheese on top. Place under the oven broiler for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Enjoy! Makes 2 open face sandwiches.

Notes

Feel free to sub 2 (5-ounce) cans of drained tuna, or one can of rinsed, drained, mashed chickpeas.
You can even scoop up the chicken salad with pita chips, or serve it cold in a wrap instead. Yum!
