Costco Chicken Melts Cooking Instructions

These chicken sandwich melts are scrumptious and they are an easy company-ready dish that takes minutes to put together. They will win over a crowd every time! The first time I tried them (shamelessly eating 3 sandwiches), I was scribbling down the recipe before I finished chewing.

I'm always on the lookout for recipes that are great for unexpected visitors or even expected ones. You don't have to spend hours in the kitchen for your friends and family to love what you cook.

This spread is loaded with cheesy chicken and tomatoes and is seasoned to perfection! (P.S. Make sure to check out the easy recipe for Johnny's Seasoning in the post below). You have to try this recipe! I made them as soon as I could get to the grocery store and brought them to my Mom's house and it was obvious after 5 minutes that I should have made more!

Every time we visit our family in the Seattle, WA area, we come home with loads of inspiration and new recipes. The gals in my family are amazing cooks! They have graciously contributed loads of recipes to this blog and I'm so thankful for that.

This recipe comes from my beautiful friend/Cousin's wife, Alla – there should be an easier term for "cousin's wife." For the sake of simplicity, I'll call her my friend, nah we're more like sisters. 😉 Other great recipes from Alla include:

Talk about a Mediterranean experience! Thank you Alla for sharing your recipes with all of us. You're welcome to visit us in Idaho anytime! 🙂

Ingredients for Alla's Easy Chicken Sandwiches:

1 loaf good Bread, sliced
2 cans (12.5 oz each) chicken breast in water, well drained
3/4 cup real mayo, or to taste
*Johnny's seasoning, to taste (see recipe for making your own seasoning below)
1 large tomato, diced
1/3 bunch Cilantro
6 oz mild cheddar cheese, finely shredded  inside or a slice of cheese on top.
Sriracha hot chili sauce to taste, or your favorite hot sauce (optional)

*You can make your own Johnny's seasoning easily:

(NOTE: Do not use this entire batch of seasoning for this recipe – add it to taste)
1 ½ Tbsp sea salt
1 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp garlic powder

How to Make Easy Chicken Sandwich Melts:

1. Drain canned chicken and transfer to a large mixing bowl and break it up lightly with a fork.

2. Stir in 3/4 cup mayo or to taste along with Johnny's seasoning to taste (I used a little more than 1/4 tsp seasoning).
3. Add diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir to combine.

4. Add Sriracha hot sauce to taste. The Sriracha hot sauce gives it a nice kick and it's so good, but if you want it to be kid friendly, you can divide the mixture and only put it into half of the spread

5. Spread generously over good sliced bread (this one's from Costco) and bake uncovered on a cookie sheet at 350˚F for 8 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and fresh tomatoes if desired

I hope these pictures did this sandwich justice. I really, really want you to try them and be sure to report back and let me know how much you loved them.
