Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven broiler. Position the oven rack so the top is about 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed cooked chicken, chopped red bell pepper, chopped cucumber, mayonnaise, dried oregano, and drained chopped ripe olives.
  3. Stir the mixture gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the mayonnaise and oregano.
  4. Lay the baguette halves flat on an ungreased baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly onto the baguette halves, spreading it out to cover most of the bread surface.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the chicken mixture.
  7. Broil the sandwiches for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken mixture is heated through.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before cutting each baguette half into 3 slices.
  9. Serve immediately while warm and the bread is still crisp.
