Chicken Bacon Subs for the Freezer

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
8 servings
Ingredients:

• 1 large French loaf, sliced lengthwise or 12 sandwich rolls, split
• 1/2 cup garlic butter
• 2 cups shredded chicken
• 1/4 cup chopped bacon, cooked crisp
• 5 ounces sliced mozzarella or jack cheese

Instructions:

1. Place the French loaf on a large sheet of aluminum foil or each roll on its own square of foil. Spread the garlic butter on both halves. Layer cheese slices over the bread. Next layer the shredded chicken over the cheese. Sprinkle bacon over the chicken. Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich. Wrap in foil.
2. If serving right away, bake in 350 oven for about 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bread. If preparing to serve later, freeze.
3. On serving day, bake for 50-70 minutes if frozen. If thawed, bake for 25-30 minutes.
4. Note: I like to make these on small ciabatta rolls and wrap them individually in foil. I’ve found that they reheat really well in the slow cooker, for about four hours on low, turning once if possible.
