So.... I had this great idea for a healthy shrimp dinner with roasted broccoli and Spanish rice. Then while in Whole Foods in Union Square became disgusted with the price of shrimp (16.99/lb) and broccoli (3.99/lb) and stormed out of the store in disgust. A blessing in disguise as these sandwiches ended up being amazing.
What you need:
1 Package of Chicken Cutlets marinaded in some chili powder, cumin, onion, powder, garlic powder and seasoned salt.
1 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 Large Spanish Onion
Toppings:
8 Slices Pepper Jack Cheese
Chipotle Mayo
Sliced Tomato
Sliced Avocado
Kaiser Rolls
Also:
Heavy Skillet (prefer cast-iron)
How you do it:
1. Slice and saute the onion and peppers in a pan over medium heat with a little bit of olive oil. You are better off going lower heat and longer. I find adding a little a bit of water along the way (1/4 cup) helps them cook better.
2. Heat oil in cast iron skillet and brown the cutlets over medium high heat. They will cook quickly so keep an eye on them. After you flip the chicken add the cheese. When the chicken is done cooking, let the pan cool a bit and then wipe out most the oil (not all).
3. Cut your rolls most the way, but leave a little so it is still attached.
4. Build your sandwich-- You can really do it anyway you like.
5. Make sure your sandwich is piled the way you like and packed into that roll really good. Then put the sandwich in the cast iron skillet (on medium-low heat). Place the pan you used from the peppers and onion on top and put something heavy to weigh it down, I used a big can of tomatoes. This will press the sandwich together. Give it a few minutes on one side then flip and repeat process with the weighed pan on top.
These sandwiches are awesome, if you make them for someone you are dating, i am pretty sure it could be a game changer. (psst... boys love sandwiches).
*Sorry no picture on this one, when i decided to post this, I called my boyfriend and asked him to take a picture of the last sandwich but he already ate it!
