Ingredients Needed

This is a quick overview of the ingredients you’ll need for this Chicken Sandwich Monsters Recipe. Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are in the printable recipe card below.

• Hamburger Buns: Brioche, or your favorite burger buns work great.
• Chicken Patties: I like the Just Bare Lightly Bread Chicken Bread Fillets, but pick your favorite.
• Sliced Cheese: I like using a white cheese like pepper jack, provolone, swiss, or Monterey Jack.
• Lettuce: Adds some crunch and color
• Green Olives with Pimentos: Add these on top with toothpicks for the monster eyes.
• Sandwich Sliced Pickles: Adds a cute tongue to make the monster extra silly.
• Toothpicks: To hold the “eyes” in place.

How to make Monster Chicken Sandwiches

Step 1: Cook the Chicken Patties. I like to air fry them to make them extra crispy, but baking them works great too. Cook them however suggested on their package.

Step 2: Cut the Cheese. Use a knife to cut zig zag teeth along one edge of each cheese slice.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches. Add lettuce, a cooked chicken patty, a slice of pickle, and cheese teeth. Make sure the tongue and teeth stick out so they are visible. Add your favorite sauce. Close the sandwich with the top bun. Add a toothpick in each olive and press them into the bun to look like monster eyes. Enjoy.

Make Ahead Instructions

You can prep the ingredients ahead of time, but I recommend assembling the sandwiches right at serving time so none of the sandwich gets soggy.

These Chicken Sandwich Monsters are easy to assemble, taste delicious and are perfect for a fun Halloween themed dinner! They’re easy to put together, totally customizable, and a hit with kids and adults! Serve them up with some fries, chips, or veggies for a spooky meal that is as delicious as it is cute!
