Mojito Chicken Sandwiches Recipe

	Nikchick / All my dishes 2 years, 7 months ago The marinade for these chicken sandwiches reminds one of the summery Brazilian cocktail, the mojito, but it's the slightly spicy mayonnaise that really kicks these to the next level. Prep:20m Cook:10m Servings:4	Nikchick

Ingredients

Dressing:

1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

1/4 teaspoon finely grated lime rind

3 tablespoons minced fresh mint

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon minced serrano chile (with seeds)

Sandwich:

1 tablespoon minced fresh mint

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons dark rum

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 pound chicken breast tenders (fresh chicken pieces, not the frozen breaded "tenders")

4 (1/4-inch-thick) slices Vidalia or other sweet onion

Cooking spray

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 (2-ounce) French rolls, halved

8 (1/4-inch-thick) tomato slices

4 red leaf lettuce leaves

Directions

To prepare dressing, combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cover and chill.

To prepare sandwich, combine 1 tablespoon mint, fresh lime juice, rum, cumin and garlic in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken breast tenders; seal and marinate in refrigerator for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

Prepare grill. (I've made this on an indoor grill pan and a George Foreman grill, too, without any problems.)

Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken and onion on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 4 minutes on each side or until chicken is done and onion is tender. Remove from grill; sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

Grill roll halves, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.

Spread about 1 tablespoon dressing over the bottom halves of the rolls. Top each serving with 3 ounces chicken breast tenders, 1 onion slice, 2 tomato slices, and 1 lettuce leaf; cover with top halves of rolls.

This sounds like what I have been looking for. Had one from a Cuban Sandwich Shop. Was so good. Been looking ever since. Great post!

She also serves her sanwiches with plantain chips instead of potato chips. Very good, nice change.
