“These cheesy, Cajun-flavored sandwiches are toasty and delicious right out of the oven. When I have leftover baked chicken breasts, I cut them up and use instead of the canned chicken,” says Jessi Holland of Pensacola, Florida.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (9-3/4 ounces) chunk white chicken, drained and flaked
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup diced green pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 10 slices Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
  • 2 plum tomatoes, sliced

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the chicken, 1/2 cup cheese, onion, green pepper, mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning and garlic. Spread over bread slices. Top each with a tomato slice; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  2. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until bread is toasted and golden brown.
