Ingredients
- 2 large boneless chicken breasts cut in half horizontally for 4 thin cutlets
- Garlic salt and ground black pepper*
- 4 slices Havarti cheese or other soft cheese
- Canola oil or Avocado oil
- 8 slices country white bread or sourdough, toasted
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons pepper jelly
- 8 slices cooked bacon*
- 2 cups baby arugula
Instructions
- Heat grill, or grill pan to medium high. Pound chicken cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap using a rolling pin or meat mallet to create thin pieces about ¼ inch thick. Season both sides of each piece with garlic salt and pepper.
- Spray or brush chicken with canola or avocado oil before placing on the grill. Grill, turning over once, until cooked through, 4 to 6 min. Place one cheese slice on top of each cutlet to melt just before removing from pan or grill.
- To make each sandwich, spread one piece of toast with mayonnaise and one piece with a generous layer of pepper jelly. Fill with chicken, bacon and arugula to assemble the sandwich. Serve.
Notes
* If you don't have garlic salt, mix equal parts garlic powder and salt together. Cook bacon before starting the recipe prep.
• Chicken may be grilled on a grill, grill press or grill pan.
