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.

What You Will Need
  • 2-3 Chicken tenders diced
  • 4 slices American Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 2 tsp Ground Mustard powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • Bread/rolls
  • 1 Medium tomato diced
Directions
  1. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add one Tbsp oil and add diced chicken. Let sit for 4 minutes for nice color to develop. Flip chicken then sprinkle evenly over top, cumin, mustard, and paprika. Let chicken cook undisturbed on the second side for another 4 minutes.
  2. Once browned, stir together to evenly coat chicken in spices. Continue to cook until chicken is fully cooked through.
  3. Once fully cooked with an internal temp of 165 F, add milk and top with sliced cheese. Let cheese melt, then stir it all together into a cheese sauce and evenly coat chicken. Remove from heat.
  4. Place chicken and cheese sauce on a bun, top with tomatoes and serve. Cheese sauce will be very hot for 5 minutes.

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!

What You Will Need
  • 4 Oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 tsp Dill
  • 1 Tbsp Ranch Dressing
  • Sliced Cucumbers
  • Bread
  • Bowl & Spoon
Directions
  1. In a bowl, Stir cream cheese, dill, and ranch dressing until combined.
  2. Add dressing to bread, top with cucumbers then bread and enjoy!

Hamburger Buns V2

Hamburger buns are an easy thing to make at home, and they taste just as good, if not better than store bought. This bun recipe is just as good as my last recipe. To see my last recipe, click here. The only difference in recipes is, last time I made 8 buns, but they were really big, so I decided 10 is better. Also, this recipe omits milk and instead uses only water as it’s primary source of hydration. These buns came out with lots of texture. I didn’t add quite enough liquid, so they didn’t hold together as well as they should. You want the dough to come together and to be a bit on the tacky side.

  1. In a bowl, mix together 4 cups flour, 1 Tbsp sugar, 2 tsp active dried yeast, a pinch of salt, 2 tbsp oil, 1 cup warm water, and 1 egg. Beat until it comes together. Add up to an additional 1/4 of water if needed.
  2. Knead until dough is soft, elastic, and smooth. Lightly oil a bowl. Form the dough into a ball, and coat with oil. Place in oiled bowl and let rise till doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch down dough. Turn out onto a clean work surface (flour the surface if your dough it too tacky). Divide your dough into 10 pieces. Form into a ball and hide all seams.
  4. Grease a large baking sheet. Space out dough on sheet and let rise till doubled about 45 minutes. Towards the end, preheat oven to 350 F.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Let cool before eating.

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.

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!
