Breaded Chicken Melt Food

EASY CHICKEN SANDWICH MELTS

Steps:

• Drain canned chicken well and transfer to a large mixing bowl, then break it up lightly with a fork.
• 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).
• Add diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir to combine.
• 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.
• 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.
