Glazed Chicken & Bell Pepper Sandwiches
Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), divided
- ½ teaspoon salt, separated
- 1¼ pounds chicken breast tenders
- ½ cup Lesley Elizabeth Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar, divided
- 2 cups red bell pepper strips
- 2 cups sliced sweet onion
- 2 loaves (8 ounces each) focaccia bread, halved horizontally
- 4 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Heat 2 teaspoons EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken tenders with ¼ teaspoon salt and add to the pan. Sear for 1 minute per side.
- Add ¼ cup Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar and cook until chicken is fully cooked and the vinegar has reduced to a syrupy glaze. Remove chicken, cover to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add remaining 2 teaspoons EVOO. Sauté the red bell peppers and sweet onions for about 7 minutes or until softened.
- Stir in remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ cup Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar. Cook 1 more minute until glaze thickens and coats the vegetables.
- Layer glazed chicken evenly on bottom halves of focaccia. Top with the balsamic pepper-onion mixture and provolone cheese.
- Sprinkle with black pepper to taste, place remaining bread halves on top, slice, and serve warm.
Serving Tips:
- Serve with a side salad dressed with Lesley Elizabeth vinaigrette or a crisp sparkling water with lemon.
- Try adding arugula or baby spinach for a peppery green layer.
- Toast your focaccia slightly for added texture and warmth.
