Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup green chili sauce (choose mild or spicy based on your preference)

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup mayonnaise

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 slices of thick-cut bread (recommend sourdough or country style)

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil or butter for toasting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring an even cooking temperature for the toast melts.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green chili sauce, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, ground cumin, onion powder, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Prepare the Bread: Arrange the slices of bread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Use a brush to lightly coat one side of each slice with olive oil or softened butter, promoting a crispy, golden crust as they bake.

        Assemble the Toasts: Flip the bread slices over, so the oiled side is facing down. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto each slice, spreading it evenly from edge to edge for optimal flavor in every bite.

          Add Cheese: Dust the tops of the chicken-topped bread slices with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring each toast has a nice layer that promises melty goodness.

            Bake the Melts: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. Look for the cheese to be melted and bubbly, while the edges of the bread should turn a lovely golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the toasts are out of the oven, allow them to cool for just a moment. Garnish each toast with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve these warm and savor your Spicy Green Chili Chicken Toast Melts as a delightful appetizer, snack, or light meal, perfect for sharing!
