One of my common self challenges is to create a dinner sandwich hearty enough to satisfy my meat and potatoes crew. This is my latest, and it did the trick! I have a friend who claims "sandwiches aren't dinner". Read more ..but, of course, he's never had any of mine, or, I'm confident he'd change his mind! :) See less
Ingredients
- 6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts or thighs(about 2 1/2lbs worth, but 1 piece per sandwich, so pick, or pound ones that fit the buns you've chosen! :) shopping list
- 2 lemons shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- 8oz cream cheese, softened shopping list
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise shopping list
- 6oz mushrooms, diced shopping list
- 1/4 cup diced onions shopping list

- 1T Dijon shopping list
- about 2 cups loosely packed fresh baby spinach shopping list
- 8oz provolone cheese slices shopping list
- 6 hard rolls, like ciabatta shopping list

How to make it
- Drizzle both sides of all pieces of chicken with olive oil, lemon juice(reserve about 1/2 a lemon), salt and pepper and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in small skillet, saute onions and garlic over low heat just until onions begin to soften.

- Grill, bake, or broil chicken pieces until done through.
- Place a slice of cheese on bottom bun, top with chicken.
- Spread a nice layer of the mayo/mushroom mixture over top bun, and add spinach leaves.
- *bacon and tomato would also be great on this sandwich!

I'm open to punishment. Ate three of them. Oh my!
Cream cheese, like bacon, is good on everything.
Made these on Chefjeb's hamburger bun recipe.
