Grilled Chicken Ciabatta Sandwiches With Roasted Pepper Duo Food

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST SANDWICHES WITH ROASTED PEPPERS

Steps:

• For the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the black pepper, and thyme leaves.
• Cover and refrigerate a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight.
• Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.
• For the Peppers: Preheat oven to 500 degrees and place 2 red bell peppers on the rack and roast.
• Turn the peppers occasionally until the skins are completely charred (20 to 30 minutes).
• Place the peppers in a paper bag and seal the top.
• This allows them to steam and aids in peeling.
• Remove the peppers from the bag and remove the skins with your fingers.
• Sometimes a little cold running water helps.
• Remove the cores and seeds and slice into 1/4-inch strips.
• Toss the peppers with 2 tablespoons olive oil and store in a glass container until ready to use.
• For the Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, and dash of salt together well and refrigerate in a glass container.
• Assembling the Sandwiches: The chicken, peppers, and mustard sauce can be prepared to this point a day in advance.
• When you are ready to serve the sandwiches, prepare a charcoal fire or preheat the broiler for the chicken and bread.
• Grill or broil the breasts 6 to 10 minutes per side, depending on the heat of your fire.
• As they are cooking, brush a little butter or olive oil on one side of 12 slices of the bread.
• When the breasts are cooked, transfer to a platter and allow to cool slightly, at which time you will need to either grill or broil the bread until slightly toasted.
• Spread a liberal amount of the mustard sauce on the oiled or buttered side of the bread slices so that the dry sides will be on the outside of the sandwich.
• Slice the breasts on a diagonal and place each sliced breast on a slice of toasted bread.
• Top with some of the roasted pepper strips, 2 slices of tomato, some of the arugula, and the top piece of bread.
• Cut and serve as you would with any sandwich.
• Serve immediately or until ready to use.
