Steps:
- Place French loaf on large sheet of aluminum foil. Spread garlic butter on bottom half of bread. Spread shredded chicken across garlic butter. Sprinkle with bacon. Layer cheese over top.
- Place top half of bread over cheese. Wrap in foil.
- If serving right away, bake in 350 oven for about 25 minutes.
- If preparing to serve later, freeze. On serving day, bake for 50-70 minutes if frozen. If thawed, bake for 25-30 minutes.
Tips:
- When choosing bacon, look for thick-cut slices that are evenly marbled. This will ensure that the bacon cooks evenly and stays juicy.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the chicken by cutting into it. The juices should run clear, with no pink in the center.
- For a crispy chicken sandwich, cook the chicken in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to create a golden brown crust on the outside of the chicken.
- If you prefer a more tender chicken sandwich, cook the chicken in a lower heat skillet over medium heat. This will help to keep the chicken moist and juicy.
- To add extra flavor to the chicken, marinate it in a mixture of your favorite spices and herbs before cooking.
- For a healthier sandwich, use whole-wheat bread or a lettuce wrap instead of white bread.
- Top the sandwich with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and cheese.
