Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced onions and red peppers, and cook and stir for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the tomato juice and taco seasoning, and mix well. Cook mixture until the juice has thickened and the chicken is well coated with sauce, about an additional 7 minutes.
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of salsa over each slice of French bread. Evenly spoon the chicken mixture on top of the salsa topped bread. Sprinkle each sandwich with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
- Place sandwiches under the preheated broiler and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Spread both sides of each slice of bread with 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise, dividing evenly, and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and bake until the bread is crispy and the mayonnaise is starting to bubble up and turn a light golden brown, about 11 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the ketchup, mustard, 3 tablespoons of the honey, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, the Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of the hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper (10 to 15 grinds) together in a medium bowl until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup sauce, then fold the chicken into the remaining sauce in bowl and toss to coat well.
- Top each piece of bread with a heaping 1/4 cup chicken mixture and about 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, chicken is heated through and bread has turned golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the red and green cabbage with the remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon hot sauce in another medium bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and toss until cabbage is evenly coated.
- Drizzle the reserved sauce over the sandwiches and serve with the cabbage slaw and a dill pickle.

CHEESY CHICKEN MELT WITH ALL OF THE ONIONS RELISH
Steps:
- Heat a large sauté pan with 2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil over high heat until it is smoking. Season the chicken with 3⁄4 teaspoon of the salt and gently place it in the pan. Cook on one side until almost cooked all the way through, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook on the other side for about 30 seconds, or until it is no longer pink. Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest.
- Immediately add the yellow onion and the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil to the pan. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion is dark and smells amazing but is not burnt. If it's getting too dark, lower the heat. Add the vinegar, along with the liquid that has collected on the plate where the chicken is resting, and turn the heat to low. Simmer the onion for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated. Transfer the onion to a bowl, using a rubber spatula to scrape the pan out completely. When the onion has cooled down a little, about 5 minutes, add the red onion, scallions, fried shallots, and remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon salt and stir to combine.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the same pan. Lay out two slices of bread on your work surface and place a slice of cheese on each. Top each piece of cheese with half of the onions, two pieces of chicken, and another slice of cheese, and cover with another slice of bread. Place the sandwiches in the pan with the melted butter. Cook over medium heat, about 3 minutes, until the cheese on the bottom slice is melted and the bread is nicely toasted. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and flip the sandwiches. Cook them for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bottom is toasty. Remove the sandwiches from the pan, cut them in half, and insert a frilly toothpick or cocktail sword near the top in each half and serve.

- PREP: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Dice the chicken. Finely dice the shallots and celery. Grate the carrots on the large holes of a cheese grater. Grate the cheese.
- CHICKEN MIXTURE: Add the chicken, shallots, celery, carrots, and 1 cup (82g) cheese to a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine the sour cream, mayo, cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of pepper. Whisk until smooth. Pour sauce over chicken and veggies and gently stir until everything is combined. Taste and adjust this mixture to personal preference adding more Cajun seasoning if desired.
- ASSEMBLE: Slice a loaf of French bread into thick slices, about 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick. Place bread slices on the prepared sheet pan. Add 1/3 cup (82g) of the chicken mixture onto each piece of bread. Smooth into an even layer with the black of a fork.

- Drain canned chicken well and transfer to a large mixing bowl, then break it up lightly with a fork.
- Stir in 3/4 cup mayo or to taste along with Johnny's seasoning to taste (I used a little more than 1/4 tsp seasoning).
- Add Sriracha hot sauce to taste. The Sriracha hot sauce gives it a nice kick and it's so good, but if you want it to be kid friendly, you can divide the mixture and only put it into half of the spread.
