Cheesy Chicken Sandwich

Advertisements

Cheese and chicken go so will together. Add some spices and some fresh tomato, and you’ll have a sandwich to make anyone’s mouth water! The heaviness of the cheese if freshened up by the tomato, and the chicken is complex in flavor on it’s own from the cumin, mustard, and paprika. I served mine on normal hotdog buns. I used 2 chicken tenders, about 1/3-1/2 pound, diced and cooked them. It was enough for 3 sandwiches, though there was plenty of extra cheese sauce.

Cucumber Sandwiches

I’m still drowning in cucumbers, and as a result, I figured some sandwiches with some cucumbers in Italian dressing would be a nice treat. The dressing for these sandwiches is rich and full of flavors. The thick cream cheese brings a smoothness to the dish. The dill is subtle, but so delicious with the cream cheese. The ranch dressing brings most of the flavors, with garlic and onion bringing a savory flavor to the dressing. All that complimented by the fresh and crisp cucumber. You can pick from a variety of breads, but we went with the standard white bread today. Try this at home sometime soon and you won’t regret it!

Whimpies (Sloppy Joes) with Homemade Sauce

It’s the perfect time of the year for whimpies! It’s something that’s easy to make and won’t heat up your whole house when you cook them. Served with some pasta salad like I did, it makes the perfect summer combo. I hadn’t made homemade sauce for these before, so I was improvising quite a bit. If you want more of a tomato flavor, cut back on the vinegar, or if you add too much, add some ketchup to bring back some tomato flavor. Less spices are better than more when it comes to this recipe. All the spices cook together and there can be a lack luster result if you add too much of anything. This recipe makes 4-6 whimpies depending on bun size.

  1. In a large skillet, break up and brown one pound of ground beef.
  2. In a bowl, mix together 8 oz of tomato sauce, 1 1/2 Tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 Tbsp dried minced onion, 1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 Tbsp honey.
  3. Once beef is fully cooked, strain off any excess fat. Add your sauce to your ground beef and cook until sauce is heated through. Cover and let simmer until you are ready to serve.
  4. Serve on bread or rolls.

Italian Chicken

As one of the meals I had a lot growing up, I find this dish to be nostalgic. Baking the chicken in italian dressing is a simple way to impart flavor into the chicken while also being a fast way to add the flavor. I was able to use the leftover italian dressing from my cucumbers in italian dressing. You can use any cut of chicken you like, I’m just used to either a breast or tenderloins. This dish can easily be made in bulk as well if you have many mouths to feed and stomachs to fill.

  1. Place your chicken in a bowl and cover it with Italian dressing.
  2. Heat the oven to 400 F.
  3. Once heated, transfer the chicken and Italian dressing into a baking dish.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165 F is reached.

Fresh Bacon Chicken Patty

I made extra chicken patties the other day when I made the chicken parm sandwiches, and I had some bacon on hand, so I had to make this beauty. It’s a very simple sandwich, but it’s incredibly filling and the flavor is full while not being fatty or greasy. It would be great for lunch or dinner, and even a great option for a cookout.

  1. Cook chicken patties as recommended on packaging.
  2. Cook bacon to your desired texture.
  3. Toast bread
  4. Layer on toast, chicken patty, a slice of American cheese, a slice of bacon split in half. Add torn lettuce, top with ranch dressing. Add mayo to your top piece of bread, close sandwich and enjoy!
