“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.

1 can (9-3/4 ounces) chunk white chicken, drained and flaked
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

10 slices Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
