Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White sandwich bread
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 1 cup Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a knife or a coffin-shaped cookie cutter, cut each slice of bread into a coffin shape. Save the trimmings for another use, like making breadcrumbs.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto one cut-out slice of bread and top with another slice to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and filling.
Brush the outside of each sandwich with melted butter to help it toast and turn golden brown.
Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the filling is hot and melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let cool slightly. If desired, drizzle ketchup across the top to resemble blood and sprinkle with chopped parsley for decoration.
Serve warm and enjoy your spooky Coffin Sandwiches!
