Ingredients

Sandwich

  • 1 loaf French bread

Chicken Salad Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (any variety)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 350℉ (175℃). Line a cookie sheet or baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Bread: Cut the loaf of French bread in half lengthwise, similar to a hot dog bun. Lay the two halves flat on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
  3. Make Chicken Salad Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, sliced green onions, dried parsley, and garlic salt. Stir everything together until well mixed and evenly combined.
  4. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the chicken salad mixture evenly over the cut sides of each French bread half, ensuring good coverage for every bite.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread edges are toasted and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice the bread into serving-sized pieces and enjoy the sandwiches warm.

Notes

  • Use any shredded cheese you prefer; cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend work great.
  • To add extra flavor, consider sprinkling a little black pepper or smoked paprika over the mixture before baking.
  • If you want a spicier kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce into the chicken salad mixture.
  • The sandwiches are best served warm right out of the oven but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheated before serving.
