Notes
If you are short on time, these tips will help you put the recipe together quickly:
- Find pre-sliced french bread (cut vertically). They have this at some grocery stores. You can also ask the bakery to slice it for you lengthwise.
- Use a rotisserie chicken or pre-shredded chicken. I love rotisserie chicken. The meat is so juicy and tender. I take it home, get all the chicken off with a fork, and there you have it. No cooking required. In some delis, they sell pre-cooked and shredded chicken near the deli, or by the sandwich meat. I like mine fresh, so sometimes I have to ask for it.
- Get the shredded cheese. I don't care what people say is in the pre-shredded cheese you can buy at the store, but I live for that. So much easier than shredding cheese yourself!
- Pre-chopped onions are my saving grace. My Kroger store has started doing this and it has saved my life. I hate cutting onions, but it's so nice when they are pre-chopped. I usually find them by the produce, in the refrigerated section where the salad is.
