Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Halve, deseed, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 1-2 minutes.
-
While bell pepper cooks, open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. Add chicken to pan with bell pepper, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break up meat into pieces.
-
Sprinkle chicken mixture with Southwest Spice Blend and cook, stirring frequently, until everything is thoroughly combined and chicken is warmed through, 1-2 minutes more.
-
Turn off heat; drizzle queso blanco over chicken mixture. Cover with a lid and set aside.
-
Empty contents of salad kit into a medium bowl; drizzle with as much dressing as you like. Toss to combine.
-
Halve and toast baguettes.
-
Remove lid and stir cheesy chicken until everything is evenly combined.
-
Divide salad and baguettes between plates. Fill baguettes with cheesy chicken and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The queso blanco and Southwest spice made for a tasty sandwich that surprised many who were skeptical going in; some found the seasoning a touch spicy or salty.
- Ease of prep: This comes together very quickly and is a solid choice for a busy weeknight — minimal chopping and fast cook time.
- Suggestions: Add sautéed onion with the peppers for more volume and flavor, as one reviewer found it made a noticeable difference. A few also suggested using a softer or thinner roll, since the demi-baguette can be thick and make the sandwich hard to eat without everything falling out.
- Salad: The Southwest salad kit divided opinion — some loved it, others found the cilantro dressing an awkward pairing with the sandwich; skip the dressing or swap the salad if cilantro isn't your thing.
- Chicken: The sous vide chopped chicken has a distinct texture that some found off-putting; breaking it into smaller pieces while cooking helps it blend better with the peppers.
