Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon.
- Warm the mixture in a skillet over low heat until creamy and the cheese is fully melted.
- Lightly toast the sandwich rolls for added texture and flavor.
- Spoon the hot, cheesy chicken mixture onto each roll.
- Add optional toppings like tomatoes, lettuce, or pickles. Serve warm.
Variations
- Add a splash of hot sauce or smoked paprika for extra depth.
- Mix in chopped green onions for a fresh, savory lift.
- Replace cheddar with pepper jack for a spicy twist.
- Add diced jalapeños for even more heat.
- Use croissants or pretzel buns for a richer or more rustic finish.
Tips
- Warm the filling gently to prevent separating—low heat keeps it creamy.
- Freshly cooked bacon gives the best crunch and flavor.
- If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
- Toasting the buns helps them hold up to the rich filling.
- Double the recipe for meal prep; the filling reheats beautifully.
