Chicken And Havarti Sandwich Food

CHICKEN WITH HAVARTI DILL CHEESE SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• If you are using small chicken breasts, pound them between sheets of plastic wrap to a uniform thickness of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. If the chicken breasts are large, slice them horizontally to produce 2 thin cutlets, then pound to thin as needed. Alternatively, you may buy thin sliced chicken breasts.
• Put 1/2 cup of flour in a wide bowl or plate.
• In another bowl, whisk the egg with water.
• Put the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
• Lightly sprinkle the chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumbs. Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet and refrigerate to chill for about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the garlic powder and dill weed, if using. Gradually add 1 cup of milk. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Add the cheese and cook, stirring, until the cheese has melted. Thin the sauce with more milk to your desired consistency, if you like. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet with the olive oil. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, turning to brown both sides. The time depends on the thickness of the chicken. My cutlets were very thin, so they only took about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Check with an instant-read thermometer if you are unsure. The chicken should register at least 165 F (73.9 C) when done.
• Arrange the chicken on a serving platter with the sauce or serve the sauce separately.

GRILLED HAVARTI AND AVOCADO SANDWICHES

Spread 1 tbls. cream cheese(or mayonnaise) on each slice. Now spread 1/2 to 1 tbls. fruit spread in a thin layer on top of cream cheese. Top with Havarti cheese and layer with avocado slices. Cover with remaining bread; butter tops.
• Place 2 sandwiches in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bread is golden brown and cheese has begun to melt. Flip sandwiches over, pressing down slightly with a spatula. Continue cooking until golden brown. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

CHICKEN SALAD AND HAVARTI CHEESE WRAP

Steps:

• In a small skillet with a lid, bring 1 inch salted water to a boil. Add chicken. Cover, and cook over medium-low heat, 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let steam, still covered, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes; remove chicken. When cool enough to handle, thinly slice crosswise.
• While chicken is cooking, stir together mayonnaise, shallot (if using), mustard, vinegar, and thyme in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add chicken, and toss to coat.
• Lay sandwich wraps on a work surface. Leaving a 1-inch border all around, layer with cheese, spinach, then chicken mixture.
• Fold in sides by about 1 inch, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Wrap each tightly in plastic or waxed paper. Refrigerate up to 1 day.
