Here's a fun grilled sandwich idea that is fast and easy to prepare. My version uses leftovers and a few items from my cupboard:
GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH PEARS AND BLUE CHEESE
2 chicken breasts, baked, etc., then shredded
blue cheese, crumbled
Havarti cheese or a gently herbed Mozzarella, crumbled
Pears (Bosch are my particular favorite), cored, peeled and sliced
Ciabatta roll or slices of French Baguette
Mix your crumbled cheeses together - this will gentle the blue cheese flavor and that will complement the sandwich once it has been heated.
Build your sandwich - I layer some shredded chicken, next crumbled cheese then pear slices.
Gently coat the outside of your sandwich with an herbed butter, garlic butter or heavily herbed olive oil. Put only a light coating of the fat on the outside of the sandwich.
Be certain to pre-heat your panini grill or the griddle and heat up your skillet too! Once everything has a good, steady heat - introduce your sandwich and press firmly but gently. Let heat until there is a light brown color on the bread and the cheeses are just at the "ooze" stage.
Then, enjoy!!! The pairing of chicken, pears and the bite of a good blue cheese will have your taste buds jumpin'!
