5-Ingredient Crack Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (for the protein base of the sandwich)
• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened (to create a creamy filling)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for a rich, melty cheese layer)
• 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits (optional, for added flavor and crunch)
• 2 large sandwich rolls or buns (for serving the chicken filling)

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and bacon bits (if using). Use a spoon or spatula to mix everything together until the cream cheese and cheese are fully incorporated and the chicken is evenly coated. The mixture should be thick and creamy, with the cheese melting slightly into the chicken.
2. Heat the chicken mixture: Transfer the chicken mixture to a skillet or pan and heat over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Heat until the mixture is warm and the cheese is fully melted, creating a gooey, creamy filling. Be careful not to overcook, as you want the chicken mixture to stay creamy and not dry out.
3. Prepare the sandwich buns: While the chicken mixture is heating, slice the sandwich rolls or buns in half. If desired, lightly butter the inside of the buns and toast them in a pan or on a grill until golden brown. This step adds extra flavor and crunch to the sandwich but is optional if you prefer to keep things simple.
4. Assemble the sandwiches: Once the chicken mixture is ready, spoon a generous portion onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the other half of the bun, pressing down gently to hold everything together. You can also add a little extra shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken filling before placing the top bun, if desired, for an extra cheesy bite.
5. Serve: Serve the 5-Ingredient Crack Chicken Sandwiches immediately, while they’re still warm and gooey. These sandwiches are perfect for a quick meal, and the rich, creamy filling is sure to satisfy your cravings.
