Nicely, it is a enjoyable recipe! I bear in mind dreaming up this sandwich on a hike someday final month. Because it occurs each single yr, that is the time once I actually begin to consider summer season recipes and the summers I spent with my household as a child in Cleveland.

Summer time in Cleveland meant summers with my Nonnie. I converse so much about my grandma, and I understand increasingly every day what an affect she actually had on me. Simply as Asher and I do now, my Nonnie and I had a lot enjoyable collectively. We’d do the whole lot from working errands to gardening and get together prep. We shopped for brand spanking new garments, luggage, and footwear and often made a fast journey to Florida every summer season. And, after all, there have been at all times our lunches out.

Nonnie cherished a lunch outing.

As a child, I really ordered pretty adventurously for a child. All the pieces from salads to pizza, to hen fingers, and enjoyable sandwiches.

Nonnie used to take me to a restaurant that at all times had the very best hen sandwich mixed with melted cheese. So I attempted as finest I might to recreate that sandwich for us all right here! She’d be so proud!

Some Particulars for You

Step 1: make the dressing

This creamy dressing is straightforward to make. It’s made with contemporary dried parsley, dill, and chives and the standard ranch substances: mayonnaise, buttermilk, Worcestershire, garlic, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.

I’ll often toss in a jalapeño two, or a couple of tablespoons of salsa verde. YUM!

Mix the whole lot up in a blender or meals processor till creamy – tremendous straightforward to do. This actually provides all the flavour!

Step 2: the hen

The recipe requires already-cooked hen. You should use no matter you’ve got readily available. Or simply make my roasted lemon pepper hen.

It’s merely hen (I like to make use of thighs, however breasts are good, too) tossed with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper. Then, roast the hen and end with lemon zest. You’ll be able to both make the lemon pepper hen or, as talked about, use leftover hen or rotisserie hen.

Step 3: assemble the sandwich

You’ll want ciabatta bread, cheese (I like to make use of Havarti and pepperjack), arugula, hen, sun-dried tomatoes, pickles or pepperoncini (or each!), toasted sesame seeds, and crispy bacon. Then, add the dressing and salsa verde.

Slice the loaf in half lengthwise. Working with the underside piece first, unfold on a little bit of dressing. Then, layer the bread with Havarti and pepperjack cheese. Now add the sliced hen after which the salsa.

Step 4: bake

After getting the whole lot layered up on the underside piece of bread, throw the pan within the oven to heat the sandwich and soften the cheese.

Step 5: the salad.

Whereas the whole lot bakes, combine the arugula with sun-dried tomatoes, cilantro or basil, dill, and toasted sesame seed

When the cheese is melted, take away the pan from the oven. Add the arugula and bacon, and end with the highest piece of bread. I prefer to bake for 5-10 minutes extra to get the sandwich good and toasty.

I serve these topped with further ranch after which candy potato fries + ketchup on the facet.

The selfmade fries and ketchup should not wanted per se. However we positive do like a salty French fry proper alongside a very nice sandwich!
