Recipe: Lemon Artichoke Chicken Sandwich
Dear In Good Taste Catering by Stacey Blog Followers,
November is a great month for food for obvious reasons! I know that you are all probably getting geared up for tons of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing! But while we all wait for Thanksgiving to arrive, we still have to eat!
Today’s recipe is for one of my favorite sandwiches and, in fact, many years ago it was voted as the Best Sandwich in Boca Raton! I’m going to give you the original recipe, but you can see how you could substitute turkey for the chicken and make it your go-to, day-after-Thanksgiving sandwich too!
Prep Time: 2.5 hours (for chicken)
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
Main Ingredients:
1 chicken breast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp Cajun rub
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 French baguette
2 slices of provolone cheese
Ingredients/Instructions for Lemon Aioli:
2 tsp mayonnaise
½ fresh chopped garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
½ black pepper
To prepare the Aioli, it’s easy: Just mix all of these ingredients together in a small bowl! No cooking necessary!
Ingredients for Marinated Artichokes:
½ can sliced artichokes
1 tbsp. lemon juice
½ tsp dried oregano
½ dried basil
2 tsp olive oil
Cooking/Preparation Instructions:
- Marinate the chicken for 2 hours in the salt, pepper, Cajun rub, olive oil, lemon juice, basil and oregano.
- Grill the chicken until done. (Your cooking time will vary on the size of the chicken you will use.)
- Slice the chicken on the bias.
- Slice the baguette lengthwise.
- Spread the aioli on the bottom half of the baguette.
- Place the chicken down on baguette on top of the aioli.
- Top the chicken with the artichokes!
- Place the provolone cheese on top of the artichokes.
- Place the baguette in an oven about 3 minutes until the cheese has melted. Add the last, toasted half of the baguette to the top of the sandwich and you’re done!
That’s it! Trust me, it is delicious and you’ll be smart to serve with some sweat tea! And if you are in the Thanksgiving spirit, use turkey instead of chicken!
