Chicken Bacon Cheddar Sandwiches

Share this post

chicken-bacon-sandwiches_11This is my last post chronicling my Flavor Journey with Sargento Cheese. I have loved every minute of working with Sargento and learning about new trends and flavors. My last post in the series is about street food. When I think of American street food, I think of hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza. Things that are portable, eaten on the go, and usually involve melted cheese. Even at home, my street food needs to be portable and covered in cheese. We are a busy family and spend a lot of time running around. I make these chicken sandwiches all the time and everyone loves them, which in this house, is no easy feat.

I make a simple marinade for the chicken and grill them off. I bake some bacon in the oven. I lay the chicken out on a baking sheet, add a few strips of bacon, and cover it with cheese. Stick it under the broiler, and toast some buns. Wrap everything in foil, put them in thermal bag to keep them warm, and off you go with dinner ready when you need it. Usually I only like things really hot, but these sandwiches are really good room temperature too.
