Delicious chicken sandwiches!
Dec. 17th, 2012 08:22 amDelicious chicken sandwiches are delicious:
Start with a really simple beer marinade
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup dark beer
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
(Original recipe also includes 1 tsp dry mustard, but eww. No.)
Mix the marinade together! Now marinate something. ANYTHING. Marinate the CAT.
For chicken sandwiches, slice 4 chicken breasts lengthwise into halves to provide nice sandwich-thickness chicken patties, then drop them in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Pull out the lovely marinated chicken and grill.
For the bread: I stole a trick from the Steak Sandwiches a while ago, and took freshly-sliced french bread, brushed with olive oil, and grilled it to make Unusual Toast. This was an excellent decision, even if it's more traditional to use sourdough for this.
Serve the chicken on the Unusual Toast, with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.
(This makes 8 sandwiches. There will likely be leftover chicken, unless you have many people. I consider this a feature, not a bug, because that chicken is now Awesome Chicken. You could make, y'know, less marinade and marinate less chicken in it, but why?)
DELICIOUS CHEFFERY.
