Before You Get Started

- Toast your brioche bread right before serving so it holds up to the filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of blackened chicken?
Yes! Rotisserie chicken works perfectly if you want to save time.
What’s the best bread for this sandwich?
Brioche is ideal for its buttery flavor, but sourdough or ciabatta also work great.
How do I keep the sandwich from getting soggy?
Toast your bread and serve immediately. You can also spread a thin layer of mayo on each slice before adding the filling to create a barrier.
