Notes

  • For the best taste and rich creamy texture, I recommend using full-fat mayonnaise and sour cream for the chicken salad mixture.
  • Use any cheese you love! Pepper Jack for some spice, or stick to the classics like Cheddar cheese (mild, medium, or sharp), Colby Jack cheese, or Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Plan on serving the open faced sandwiches immediately after baking. These are best eaten after they're made. You can eat leftovers but I would recommend warming up leftovers in the air fryer to make them crisper and not so soft.
  • This recipe is super adaptable to additional seasonings that you want to add. Garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper for spice, etc.
