Why I Love this Deli Chicken Sandwich Recipe
Hey everyone! This Baked Cheesy Deli Chicken Sandwich is a perfect choice when you want a quick and hearty lunch! It’s a great way to load up on healthy veggies, add in some cheese, and get your protein in when you have just a couple of minutes!
In this Baked Deli Chicken Sandwich we have loads of fresh veggies and a strong cheddar cheese! I’m using some some oven roasted deli chicken here to make it a convenient lunch option. I love getting lots of meat at the deli counter because there are so many options to choose from! I have to admit, when I get some deli meat, I do plow through it! Not only in lunches, but it makes for some great snacks in between meals!
This sandwich was my attempt to create a Subway experience at home. I like to enjoy a good sub, but I was loving purchasing some fresh baguettes at the grocery store! What better way to enjoy a soft and warm baguette than in a sub with your favourite goodies? Fresh, healthy, tasty and easy to make!

Why Deli Chicken?
Here I used oven roasted chicken for my deli meat of choice, but feel free to use any cut of meat you like! You could even mix and match your favourite deli meats! I tend to alternate between using turkey and chicken for my deli meats. I bet this recipe would work really well with some ham too, so be sure to give that a try and let me know what you think in the comments!
How to Make Baked Cheesy Chicken Sandwich

Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post so that you have the FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE for all ingredient measurements, and to save the recipe for later!
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cut your baguette or ciabatta in half.

Then, add your slice of cheese.
When the oven is hot, place your sandwich on a baking tray and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
When your cheese has melted, take the baking tray out of the oven and place your sandwich on your work surface.
Add your shredded lettuce.
Followed by your sliced tomatoes.
Add the sliced onions and drizzle sriracha sauce.
There you have it! Close your sandwich and enjoy!
Serving Your Deli Chicken Sandwich
I topped this sandwich with a drizzle of Sriracha sauce and dipped it in Thousand Island dressing. Yes, I dipped my sandwich in sauce! I do that with burgers too, actually!
For me, the Thousand Island dressing really completed the sandwich, actually. It was one of my new obsessions at the time of creating this recipe. I had discovered it at the restaurant I was working at and was truly hooked! Be sure to try this out if you’ve never had it before, you won’t be disappointed!
