This recipe is a tasty take on the traditional pulled chicken sandwich. It combines the tastes of jalapeno poppers with cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, and jalapenos.

Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 1 cup cream cheese. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped. 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled. 1/2 cup mayonnaise. 1/4 cup chopped green onions. 4 sandwich buns. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, bacon, and green onions. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in a slow cooker. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chicken breasts. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through. Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix with the remaining sauce. Spread mayonnaise on sandwich buns, then top with pulled chicken mixture. Serve hot and enjoy!

This is all conceptual !!! I haven’t tried it yet

Ingredients

Shokupan or white bread, TBD

English cucumber

Surimi, fine shreds

Kewpie mayo (?)

Shiso, finely sliced (“perilla” in Korean)

Whipped cream cheese

Soy sauce

Sesame seeds

MSG

wasabi, avocado*

Thinly slice cucumbers, salt + drain

Combine surimi, kewpie (?), whipped cream cheese, shiso, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and msg**

Spread a thin layer of whipped cream cheese onto bread before laying down sliced cucumbers.*** Then add surimi mix.

Spread a thin layer of whipped cream cheese onto the second slice before topping the sandwich (creates uniform contact with bread and flavor layer).

[May want/need to wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate here. Unsure.]

Cut off crusts + cut diagonally.***

*MSG may be unpopular for marketing

**Saw someone on tiktok add wasabi? OP used avocado but that feels too savory for this. Mascarpone could be good but might be too sweet. Avocado mixed with mascarpone? hm.

***Optionally: to get a good cross section, lay cucumbers sliced length-wise in one direction, then cut sandwiches perpendicular, or lay cucumbers square with bread and cut straight across:
