I just made this one up today.
Trust me-it’s good! Here’s how I made one for me and Josh (I stacked his a little higher than mine—this pic was mine-his was a lot thicker!
I used (for 2 of us):
1 chicken breast
1/4 yellow onion sliced
1/2 sweet pepper sliced
Swiss Cheese slices
whole grain bread slices
butter spread
Spicy Mustard (this was the secret ingredient!)
Salt/Pepper/any other desired seasonings
What I did:
First I thawed my chicken and cut it up into large bite size pieces. I sautéed it in a pan with a little Salt, Pepper, and Olive oil. ( I cut it up first because it cooks a lot faster and more even for me). Once it was nicely browned on the outside I took it off and shredded it with 2 forks.
Meanwhile I sautéed the onion and pepper in the same pan in the leftover oil. I cooked them until the onions started to turn golden and they were softened. (We keep a container of sliced sweet peppers in the fridge-we buy the three pack that comes with a red, yellow, and orange pepper-it’s cheaper than getting them all individually. Makes it easy to cook with-they last a while-and Josh takes them to lunch. I used a handful of these for the sandwiches.)
I spread a little butter spread on the outside of the bread slice (to make it brown nicely in the pan) and spread the inside with a little spicy mustard. I layered one thin slice of cheese, then the shredded cooked chicken, then the veggies, then another piece of cheese before the last piece of bread. I’m sure you could use one piece of cheese to make it healthier-but we both like cheese and it was thinly sliced-and I wanted it to help hold everything together.
I carefully browned both sides of the sandwich in a large pan-which also melted the cheese.
Enjoy! (And really-the mustard just made it that much better!)
