  • 4 1/4 ounce Can chopped ripe olives

    Spoon the chicken mixture evenly onto the baguette halves, spreading it out to cover most of the bread surface.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the chicken mixture.
  7. 7
    Broil the sandwiches for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken mixture is heated through.
  8. 8
    Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before cutting each baguette half into 3 slices.
  9. 9
    Serve immediately while warm and the bread is still crisp.
