This was a great alternative to cold chicken salad sandwiches! My 14 yr. old son hates Mayo so won't eat a regular chicken sandwich but I kinda failed to mention that along with the cheese, there might be a cup of mayo in the pot. LOL He ended up eating three!

If cheese is involved I'm front and center. This recipe would be ideal to feed a bunch of people. I'm thinking fall and after an active sports game outdoors. This would be great even for tailgating. All you need are buns and munchies. YUM!!
