SANDWICH ESSENTIALS: ITALIAN CHICKEN CROISSANT

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Cut the chicken breast in half, lengthwise, cover with a piece of cling wrap, and pound to an even thickness of, about 1/4-inch (.6cm).
• Chef's Note: Pounding the chicken achieves three goals: 1. It helps them to cook evenly. 2. It tenderizes them, and allows the marinade to penetrate. 3. It helps you take out your frustrations.
• Add them to a non-reactive container, with the marinade, cover, and place in the refrigerator for 2 - 4 hours.
• Just before cooking the chicken, cut open the croissants, brush with a bit of butter, toast them (cut side down) in a hot skillet, then reserve.
• Remove chicken from the fridge, and throw them into the skillet, over medium-high heat. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip over, and place the cheese on top. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the cheese is nice and melty, about an additional 2 minutes.
• Chef's Note: If your skillet has a lid, cover the skillet after adding the cheese, to aid in its melting.
• Plate/Present
• Brush the bottoms of the croissants with the spicy mayo, if using, add the cheesy chicken, and serve while nice and toasty warm (salt and pepper, optional). Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
