Ingredients
  

  • 12.5 oz canned chunk chicken
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 small tomato
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 8-10  sliced baguette
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbl chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375f
    First start with draining the liquid from the canned chicken, then add the chicken to a small mixing bowl.
  • To the chicken add 1/2 of an onion thinly cubed.
    Then to the bowl add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 3 garlic cloves that had been pressed, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. With a fork mix it very well.
  • Next chop 1 small tomato into small cubes and put it into a sieve to drain for a few minutes. This helps to prevent the sandwiches from becoming soggy.
  • While the tomato is draining, to the chicken add 1 cup of cheese and give it a good mix. Discard the liquid from the tomatoes and add the tomato cubes into the chicken, and gently mix it in.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each slice of bread, then place them on a baking sheet.
    Bake the chicken sandwich melts in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
