Hunk of Meat Monday: Mini Chicken Sandwich on Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

Sharing is caring!

I love a good sandwich. I especially love a good mini sandwich. My ham sammies on Hawaiian Rolls are becoming very popular. So, much so that I get several requests for a variation for turkey or chicken and also how to make them without mustard. So, in response to those requests, I bring you the mini chicken sandwiches on Hawaiian sweet rolls.

Mini Chicken Sandwich

Start by melting some butter in a hot skillet to brown the butter.

Then I chopped up onion onion very finely with my Pampered Chef food chopper.

Add it to the browned butter and continue to brown till the onions begin to caramelize.

Then gather the rest of your ingredients.

Everyone Needs Bacon

Fry up 1/2 pound of bacon and set aside.
The onions should be done by this point. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds for added nutty flavor.

I then stirred in 1 large tomato that I diced up. This is completely optional. If you don’t like tomatoes, don’t add them.

Spread the onion/tomato mixture over the tops and bottoms of the rolls. Place the roll bottoms in an aluminum foil lined 13 x 9 pan.

Then start loading up the goods. Start with deli chicken.

Then sprinkle with bacon.

Then grab some sliced cheese. I used provolone. Monterey Jack or Swiss cheese also.

Layer the cheese on top of the bacon and chicken.

Then top the cheese with the roll tops.

Cover with the extra aluminum foil and bake on 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes till entirely heated through.

They were awesome. Granted, the next time I make them I will add mustard because, well, I missed the mustard. But I love mustard.
