Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Sliced bread
Forms the sandwich structure, and frying it gives a crisp, golden outside.
Minced chicken
Provides the savory, protein-rich filling that forms the body of the sandwich.
Cheese
Melts when baked, binding the filling and adding richness and savory flavor.
Butter
Browns during frying, adding a nutty aroma and golden color to the bread.

The step that matters

Bake until the cheese is just melted. Cheese melts and turns stringy at moderate heat, but overbaking can dry the bread and make the cheese greasy or hard. Baking just before serving keeps the bread crisp and the filling moist.
