CHICKEN AND ROASTED PEPPER SANDWICHES WITH CILANTRO ALMOND RELISH
Steps:
- Poach chicken:
- Bring water to a simmer in a 4- to 5-quart pot, then add chicken and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and cool completely, then cut diagonally into thin slices.
- Roast bell peppers:
- Roast bell peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes. (Or broil peppers on rack of a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes.) Transfer to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then let stand 20 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and cut lengthwise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.
- While peppers are standing, pulse almonds, garlic, and jalapeño in a food processor until finely chopped. Add cilantro, mayonnaise, lime juice, sour cream, and salt and blend to a paste.
- Spread cilantro relish on each slice of bread, then make sandwiches with chicken and roasted peppers, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best flavor and texture, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you are using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
- Use ripe, flavorful peppers: The roasted peppers are a key ingredient in these sandwiches, so make sure to use ripe, flavorful peppers. Bell peppers of any color will work well, but roasted red peppers have a particularly sweet and smoky flavor.
- Make the cilantro-almond relish ahead of time: This relish is a great way to add a bright, fresh flavor to the sandwiches. It can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread adds a nice crunch to the sandwiches and helps to hold them together. You can toast the bread in a toaster or on a grill pan.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Once all of the components are ready, it's time to assemble the sandwiches. Start by spreading some of the cilantro-almond relish on one slice of toasted bread. Top with chicken, roasted peppers, cheese, and the other slice of toasted bread.
Conclusion:
These chicken and roasted pepper sandwiches with cilantro-almond relish are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone at the table.
