Cheddar Chicken BLT

Alrighty y’all…I’ve got another great sandwich idea and Kraft Fresh Take recipe idea to share this afternoon. I’ve had it on my list to make some kind of cheesy BLT for quite some time, so that’s what I did. 

Slice.

Dip.

Bake.

Accessorize.

I’m using bolillo rolls again with this recipe…mainly because they are so inexpensive and easy. I can purchase them for about the same cost as I can make them at home, so considering that there is a newborn in the house…I’m going for convenience (when it doesn’t cost too too much!) these days!

Also, we had two lunches worth of Cheddar Bacon “chicken bites” leftover…so there was no need for Steve and I to have to fight over them 😉

That’s how this easy peasy recipe works…

Ingredients 

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced bite size thick
  • 1 packet Seasoned Panko Seasoned Coating Mix with shaker bag
  • 1 cup shredded cloby jack cheese

  • Once the chicken is cooked, let cool slightly and then assemble sandwiches.
