SANTA FE GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH (CARL'S JR. COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Pound out each of the chicken breasts so that they are a fairly even thickness throughout. Marinate the chicken by combining the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, and crushed garlic in a resealable plastic bag with the chicken breasts. Marinade for 30 minutes to an hour.
• Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat.
• Make the sauce by combining the mayo, paprika, cayenne, curry powder, and salt in a bowl and mixing it up.
• Grill the chicken for about 5-8 minutes each side. Actual time will depend on the thickness of your meat. The chicken is done when it is firm to the touch. Place the pepper jack slices on each piece of chicken during the last minute or so of cooking so it can melt.
• Grill the buns face-side down for just a minute or two so that they are toasted. Spread the mayo mixture on the face of each bun. Top with cheese smothered chicken, green chili, and lettuce.

SANTA FE CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• TO MAKE SALSA: Combine salsa ingredients and set aside in refrigerator for 1/2 hour then place in a strainer to remove excess water. Set aside in refrigerator until ready to use.
• TO MAKE GRILLED LIME CHICKEN: Prepare a hot grill or barbecue. Mix the marinade ingredients together and marinate the chicken breasts for 15 minutes. Cook the breasts for 5 to 7 minutes each side (discard leftover marinade). Remove the grilled chicken and cool. Cut the cold chicken into 1 cm cubes and set aside in the refrigerator.
• TO MAKE CARALELISED ONIONS: Melt butter in small non-stick pan over medium-high heat and cook onions, stirring, until they just begin to brown - 3 to 4 minutes. Add vinegar; reduce heat to medium-low & continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring to prevent scorching. Add soy sauce & cook 5 to 10 minutes longer, stirring. When done, onions should be quite limp & caramelised brown.
• TO MAKE GUACAMOLE: Cut the avocado in half, discard pit and scoop the flesh away from the skin into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado and then quickly combine with the remaining guacamole ingredients. Place cling film directly onto the surface of the guacamole and squeeze out air bubbles. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• TO MAKE PIZZA: Distribute sauteed onions over the pizza base. Cover the onions with about 3/4 of the mozzarella. Evenly distribute the chicken pieces over the cheese and then sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the chicken. Transfer to the pre-heated Pizza Maker (or to a very hot oven) and cook until cheese at centre is bubbly and crust is brown (8 to 10 minutes). Sprinkle 1 tblsp of chopped coriander leaves over the hot cheese. Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole (either added to the pizza before serving or else as side dishes for people to add as they like).
