12 thin slices of smoked chicken breast

8 slices of cheddar cheese

Fresh basil leaves

Black pepper salt

4 leaves of green salad

Pickled jalapeno and cucumber

Mayonnaise and hot sauce

Put the sandwiches in the pre-heated  oven(200c) for around 7 mins until cheese is melted. 

Then take the sandwiches out and add the pickles and other green stuff

Personally, i don't want the pickles and the greens baked this is why i add them up later(I baked the sandwiches with the basil to have the flavor mixed with cheese)

Warning: both hot sauce and jalapenos might be too hot to eat. You can choose only one or have them both in reasonable amounts.
