Rotisserie chicken—honestly, is there anything more comforting? Its tender, flavorful embrace is like a culinary hug, especially when nestled between two slices of bread. The world may have its ups and downs, but these sandwiches—oh boy—are a beacon of deliciousness waiting to be discovered.

- Return the open sandwich to the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and the bread edges start to brown.
- Remove from the oven, add optional toppings like lettuce, onions, and tomatoes, then assemble the sandwich and serve.
