A friend of mine and I once made this from a recipe we found in a cooking magazine, but lost the recipe. I found it again, so I'm putting it here so as not to lose it again. It calls for ciabatta bread, but anything light with a good crunchy crust will be as good. It's also great grilled panini-style. Ingredients:
2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
salt and pepper |
2 ciabatta rolls, sandwich size |
2 tablespoons goat cheese |
1 cup baby spinach leaves |
1/2 red onion |
1/4 cup roasted red pepper |
1 cup white wine |
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. Salt and pepper chicken breasts.
2. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
3. Cook chicken until no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes per side.
4. Remove chicken, keep warm.
5. Add wine, sugar, and vinegar to pan, increase heat to high, reduce until thick and syrupy.
6. Cut rolls in half, spread with goat cheese.
7. Add chicken, spinach, onion, peppers, and sauce.
8. You may have sauce left over. Save it. It's great on steaks, too.
