Vegan Gardein Chicken Sandwiches

6 slices bread (I used Orowheat organic 22 grains & seeds) ~$4.79
1 package Gardein chick'n with included sauce packet ~$3.29
1/2-3/4 cup Daiya cheddar, divided ~$4.99

Microwave preparation:
Place sauce packet on a small plate, microwave for 30 seconds to defrost, and set aside
Arrange bread slices on dinner plates (I could fit 3 slices each on 2 dinner plates)
Sprinkle cheddar evenly on each slice, about 2 tbsp per slice
For 3 slices per plate, microwave for 1 minute until cheese is melted
For 1-2 slices per plate, cover and microwave for 30 seconds until cheese is melted
On a separate plate cover and microwave chick'n for 1 minute on each side
Distribute sauce evenly to each bread slice
Use chick'n piece to spread sauce to edges of slice if desired
Place 3 pieces of chick'n each on 3 slices of bread
Place remaining slices of bread on top
Makes 3 sandwiches
If storing in the fridge or packing for lunch, three 6" x 6" containers needed (I used Komax 700 ml containers or Daiso 700 ml or 1.1 liter containers)
~$13.07 total
If purchasing 2 more chick'n packages for ~$21 to make 9 sandwiches, ~$2.33 per sandwich

Stove top or oven preparation:
Follow package instructions and melt cheese on stove in a covered frying pan, oven, or panini press
