Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup green chili sauce (mild or spicy, according to preference)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup mayonnaise

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

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

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil or butter for toasting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green chili sauce, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, cumin, onion powder, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Prepare the Bread: Lay the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Lightly brush one side of each slice with olive oil or butter for that crispy, golden finish.

        Assemble the Toasts: Flip the bread slices over so the oiled side is face down. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each slice of bread, spreading it evenly across the surface.

          Add Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of each toast, ensuring an even layer for melty goodness.

            Bake the Melts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, remove the toasts and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your Spicy Green Chili Chicken Toast Melts as a delightful appetizer, snack, or light meal!
