Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette Chicken Sandwich on Artisan Bread

Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette Marinated Chicken Sandwich on Artisan Bread - A Pinch of Joy

Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette Marinated Chicken on a fabulous artisan bread takes the concept of chicken sandwich to new levels.  Sooo good I made it twice in one week – and we aren’t big sandwich eaters!!!   Use your favorite artisian bread – sourdough, multi-grain or any round bread that is crusty on the outside and soft in the middle.  Ask the bakery to slice it for uniformity.   When you seldom eat bread as we do – go for a really good one when you do put it on the menu!   I chose an asiago cheese loaf that was excellent.   We opted not to toast it, but a little denser bread, like the sourdough, would be wonderful buttered and tossed in a skillet until just barely golden.

For one set of sandwiches I used provolone cheese and needed two slices to cover the big sandwiches.  For the second batch  we used Havarti on some and Muenster on others.  All were delicious, but the provolone will be what we usually purchase for this.  I like sandwiches to have a bit of moistness and creaminess so I spread one slice of bread with a good mayonnaise very lightly.  Drizzling the sauce across the chicken as it came off the grill and onto the bread added more flavor.  We didn’t use any other toppings – like lettuce or tomato.   Although they would have added to the “experience”, everybody was ready to dig in after smelling the tantalizing odors from the kitchen.

This recipe was very quick and easy.  You do need to plan ahead a bit to thaw the chicken and put it in the marinade ahead of cooking time so the meat absorbs the flavors.  If the chicken slices are not uniform sliced the thawed meat with a sharp knife to about ½ inch thickness so you can grill it easier.   I used the countertop grill and was careful to check the temperature after 3 or 4 minutes so the meat didn’t overcook.  Just for a bit more flavor.  Yummy!   Serve with a good tossed salad (or Sunny Broccoli Salad) and fresh fruit for dessert!
