SUNNY'S OPEN-FACED GRILLED BLT

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

One 13.8-ounce pop-tube pizza dough
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Zest of 1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper
4 slices thick-cut bacon
Two 1-inch slices beefsteak tomato
One 1-inch slice iceberg lettuce or 1 heart of romaine, sliced lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sriracha seasoning

Steps:

  • For the bread: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
  • Lay out the dough on a work surface and sprinkle with the olive oil, parsley, rosemary, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Fold it over itself and roll out or just press with your hands to make a square that could fit four slices of bread, because that's the goal. (You will eventually want to cut this into fourths to serve.) Place on the direct heat of the grill and cook until it releases from the grill and is slightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until done, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • For the bacon: Mix the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, zest and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl. Press the bacon into this mixture and place on a piece of nonstick aluminum foil on the grill. Cook, without flipping, until the bacon is crispy, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and roughly chop.
  • For the tomatoes and lettuce: Brush the tomato slices and lettuce with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes and lettuce directly on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until the tomatoes and lettuce are slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Build the sandwiches: Mix the mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice and sriracha seasoning in a small bowl. Chop the grilled tomatoes and lettuce. Add the chopped tomatoes to the bread and press them slightly into the bread, then add the chopped bacon and piles of lettuce. Drizzle with the sriracha mayonnaise. Cut into four pieces and serve.

Provided by Anonymous

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
8 thick slices French bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
4 slices tomato
4 lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Prick chicken breasts all over with a fork. Place chicken breasts, 1/4 cup olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic and herb seasoning, ground black pepper, and chopped fresh dill in a bowl. Stir to coat chicken breasts completely. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Remove chicken breasts from marinade, discard marinade, and grill chicken for 10 to 15 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from grill; let stand for 5 minutes. Cut chicken breasts in half.
  • Melt butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle garlic powder and salt over butter and oil. Add French bread slices to the pan and toast until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes; remove from pan.
  • For sandwich assembly, place one slice of French bread with toasted side down onto a serving plate. Spread mayonnaise on bread; top with a slice of tomato, salt and ground black pepper to taste, half a grilled chicken breast, and lettuce. Spread untoasted side of another slice of bread with mayonnaise and place on top to make a sandwich.

Tips:

  • Toast the bread lightly to give it a bit of crunch.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately after assembling them.
