4 boneless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese blend

In a small bowl, combine oil, garlic, chili powder, and cayenne. Using a rubber spatula, spread mixture over both sides of the chicken.

Prepare grill. Grill chicken until juices run clear.

Combine 1 cup of the cheese blend and the mayonnaise; mix well. Toast bread on edge of grill, turn. Spread toasted side of the bread evenly with cheese/mayonnaise mix. Grill, cheese side up, 2 more minutes or until cheese begins to melt.

Place a piece of chicken on toasted cheese bread and top with salsa. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
