Chicken Melts Recipe
This easy chicken melts recipe is one of our favorites, especially during busy seasons of life like summertime. It’s a mouthwatering combination of chicken, a cheesy sauce, and subtle spices that make it enjoyable for the whole family.
Ingredients
- ½ cup onion finely chopped (I like to use green onion if its available)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 quart jar canned chicken OR meat from 1 roasted chicken
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 2 ½ cups of cheese
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped onion, chicken, mayonnaise, salt and pepper, and 2 cups of cheese. Mix well.
- Slice bread and lay out flat on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Spread chicken mixture on slices of bread as evenly as possible.
- Add the rest of the cheese to the top of the each piece of bread.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until melts are warmed through and cheese is golden brown on top.
- Serve with a green salad and pickled veggies from your pantry.
Notes
This recipe is very easy to adjust and I suggest you put different things in it depending on what you have available. You could add pickles and green onions, or add taco seasoning to make it more of a taco chicken melt.
Make the filling ahead of time and then you can get a meal on the table even faster.
Use leftover chicken or whatever meat you have on hand.
