Provided by TishT

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 7h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 skinless chicken breast halves, boned
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 red bell peppers
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 dash salt
3 ounces arugula leaves or 3 ounces spinach (if arugula is unavailable)
3 red ripe tomatoes, for slicing
12 slices multi-grain bread

Steps:

  • For the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the black pepper, and thyme leaves.
  • Cover and refrigerate a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.
  • For the Peppers: Preheat oven to 500 degrees and place 2 red bell peppers on the rack and roast.
  • Turn the peppers occasionally until the skins are completely charred (20 to 30 minutes).
  • Place the peppers in a paper bag and seal the top.
  • This allows them to steam and aids in peeling.
  • Remove the peppers from the bag and remove the skins with your fingers.
  • Sometimes a little cold running water helps.
  • Remove the cores and seeds and slice into 1/4-inch strips.
  • Toss the peppers with 2 tablespoons olive oil and store in a glass container until ready to use.
  • For the Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, and dash of salt together well and refrigerate in a glass container.
  • Assembling the Sandwiches: The chicken, peppers, and mustard sauce can be prepared to this point a day in advance.
  • When you are ready to serve the sandwiches, prepare a charcoal fire or preheat the broiler for the chicken and bread.
  • Grill or broil the breasts 6 to 10 minutes per side, depending on the heat of your fire.
  • As they are cooking, brush a little butter or olive oil on one side of 12 slices of the bread.
  • When the breasts are cooked, transfer to a platter and allow to cool slightly, at which time you will need to either grill or broil the bread until slightly toasted.
  • Spread a liberal amount of the mustard sauce on the oiled or buttered side of the bread slices so that the dry sides will be on the outside of the sandwich.
  • Slice the breasts on a diagonal and place each sliced breast on a slice of toasted bread.
  • Top with some of the roasted pepper strips, 2 slices of tomato, some of the arugula, and the top piece of bread.
  • Cut and serve as you would with any sandwich.
  • Serve immediately or until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Use a sturdy bread that will hold up to the fillings, such as a hearty whole-wheat bread or a baguette.
  • Roast your own peppers: Roasting peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. If you don't have time to roast your own, you can use jarred roasted peppers.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: A sharp cheddar or a creamy brie are both good choices for this sandwich. You can also use a combination of cheeses.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're broiling the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Watch the chicken closely: Broiling chicken can go from cooked to overcooked very quickly, so keep an eye on it and remove it from the oven as soon as it's cooked through.

Conclusion:

Broiled chicken and roasted pepper sandwiches are a delicious and easy lunch or dinner option. They're perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a casual weekend lunch. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that's both flavorful and satisfying.
