Instructions
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended, creating a creamy and flavorful mixture.
-
Prepare the Bagels: Take each bagel half and spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese and chicken mixture evenly on top. Ensure that each half is generously coated for maximum flavor.
-
Microwave the Sandwiches: Place two sandwich halves at a time on a microwave-safe plate lined with a paper towel. This helps absorb any moisture and prevents the bagels from becoming soggy.
-
Heat Until Warm: Microwave the sandwiches on high for approximately 30 to 60 seconds, or until they are hot throughout. Keep an eye on them, as microwaves can vary in power. The cheese may not appear melted but should be warm and gooey.
-
Repeat the Process: Once the first batch is heated, repeat the process for the remaining bagel halves, ensuring each sandwich is warmed to perfection.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Cheesy Chicken Sandwiches immediately while they are still warm, paired with a light salad or some fresh fruit for a complete meal. Enjoy this delightful dish that brings comfort and satisfaction in every bite!
