100% Original Chicken Sandwich

Sometimes when I am really bored or stuck in the "same old" dinner rut, I like to go into the kitchen and start inventing/experimenting! This is 1 of 2 original sandwiches I have created! This one I think might be the favorite one, but we haven't had the other one in a while, so it may be a toss up!

Recipe:
1 loaf of Rosemary Olive Oil bread from Costco!!!
2 chicken breast defrosted
spinach leaves
1 package of Provolone cheese
1/2 package of bacon (optional)

Sauce:
1/2 cup of Olive Oil Mayonnaise (Best Foods)
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 of a lemon (squeezed) or 2 Tbls. of lemon juice
salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste

*Cut the rosemary bread into even slices, making sure you have enough pieces to complete a whole sandwich. Butter both sides of the bread, and then you can either grill it or broil it until golden brown on each side. (Don't leave the bread unattended, trust me it can burn really easily!) In the mean time season both sides of the chicken breast with garlic salt and either put them on the grill or broil them as well, until fully cooked through, then slice into stripes. Then Mix your sauce together and spoon enough to cover one side of each slice of bread, and then place on a cookie sheet. Top one side of each sandwich with the strips of chicken, spinach leaves, bacon (if desired), and then one full slice of provolone cheese! On the other slice of bread, top with one half piece of provolone cheese. Stick under the broiler until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Pull out of the oven, and put the sandwiches together. Cut in half (if desired) and then of course, PLEASE ENJOY!!

Tuna Melt - Gourmet Style

The other day I made a yummy discovery.
Something as simple as a tuna melt can be made into a culinary masterpiece just my adding some sliced purple onions! I mixed up the tuna salad with mayo, salt and pepper, spread it generously on my favorite whole grain bread, placed sliced purple onion on the tuna, and sharp Tillamook cheddar cheese to top it off. I baked it at 400 until the cheese started to melt and the bread was getting toasty on the bottom. Then I turned it to broil for a few minutes to grill the onion. Watch it close cause it doesn't take long! Man, it was good! Experiment with a variety of cheeses, I bet it would be tasty with canned salmon too. Next I'm going to try it topped with fresh tomato slices.
