Description

A delicious grilled chicken and spinach sandwich with roasted red peppers and a tangy dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/4 Cup Pine Nuts (toasted)
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Onions (diced)
  • Basil (sliced, to taste)
  • 1 Ciabatta (or baguette)
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 2 Cups Spinach
  • 3 Cups Chicken (shredded, cooked)
  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat a gas stove to high heat and place the peppers directly on the heat. Turn occasionally until black and charred. Alternatively, you can roast under the broiler in the oven.
  2. Remove to a ziploc and seal to steam the peppers for 15-20 minutes. Remove the skins, seeds, and stem and chop. Set aside.
  3. Whisk the dressing together and toss all ingredients in it except the spinach.
  4. Heat the oven to broil and brush olive oil on the insides of the bread and toast in the oven slightly until browning begins.
  5. Rub with a sliced garlic clove and pile on the chicken and spinach.

Notes

  • Using a whole roasted chicken adds more flavor to the dish.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of basil to your preference.
