How to Make Shredded Chicken And Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 2 focaccia buns in half horizontally. Lightly butter the cut sides.
  3. Place buttered focaccia halves on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. While focaccia is baking, prepare the chicken. In a bowl, combine 1 lb cooked chicken, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp paprika, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Marinate for 5 minutes.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Add the marinated chicken to the saucepan. Cook for 8 minutes, then flip and cook for another 6 minutes, or until heated through.
  8. Remove chicken from pan and shred using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pan with its drippings.
  9. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has evaporated (about 3-5 minutes).
  10. Assemble sandwiches: Place a toasted focaccia half on a plate, top with the shredded chicken, 1 slice of soy alternative cheddar cheese, and the other focaccia half.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
