A long time ago Jack n the Box used to make a sandwich like this. When it was no longer on the menu I decided to make my own. I actually think this one is better....but homemade usually is.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
4 sandwich rolls of your choice, sometimes i use king hawiian or kaiser
4 large slices swiss cheese
sandwich pal sweet n spicy mustard - any sweet spicy mustard will work
sandwich pal horseradish sauce
FOR BRINE:
3 c buttermilk
1/3 c salt
2 Tbsp sugar
SAUTEED MUSHROOMS:
8 oz mushrooms, sliced - i just used white buttons
2 tsp italian seasoning
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp oil, i use olive oil
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
sliced red onion
sliced tomato
romaine lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • 1. In a ziplock back place chicken breasts. In a bowl combine salt and sugar. Pour in buttermilk and stir to combine. Pour into bag and place in fridge 4 hours up to overnight.
  • 2. When you are ready to cook drain the brine and remove the chicken breasts. Cut your ziplock bag on the edges except the bottom. This makes a really convenient way to flatten your chicken breasts with less mess.
  • 3. Flatten the chicken breasts by half their original thickness. Then cut them in half to create 4 portions.
  • 4. At this point let the chicken portions rest while you work on your mushrooms. In a medium pan heat oil and add sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms begin releasing juice. Add worcestershire sauce and italian seasoning and continue cooking until almost dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • 5. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray. Add Chicken breast to pan. Cook on medium high heat after 2 minutes give the chicken breasts a quarter turn - this creates cross marks. Cook 2 minutes more on that side. Flip the chicken breasts over and repeat the process Turn off heat top with mushrooms and then cheese. Place lid on pan and allow cheese to melt.
  • 6. Flip the chicken breasts over and repeat the process Turn off heat top with mushrooms and then cheese. Place in oven and allow cheese to melt.
  • 7. Spread top of roll with horseradish sauce and the bottom of roll with spicy mushroom. Place chicken on bottom roll. Additional toppings as desired.

SANDWICH NIGHT: THE SLICED CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM RACHAEL



Sandwich Night: The Sliced Chicken and Mushroom Rachael image

A "Rachel" is a Reuben made with turkey or smoked turkey rather than corned beef. This sammie, The Rachael, swaps thinly sliced, freshly cooked chicken breast for the turkey-and it combines sweet sauteed onions with the sauerkraut, swaps nutty Gruyere for deli Swiss cheese, and adds homemade herbed Thousand Island dressing and sauteed mushrooms to complement the cheese and chicken, to boot.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 pound baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced, or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1-pound package sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
Grill seasoning blend (recommended: McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons dill relish
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
8 slices marble rye, rye, or pumpernickel bread
8 slices Gruyere or deli Swiss cheese
4 large deli pickles
1 bunch radishes, halved and salted

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat, then add the mushrooms, and raise the heat a bit. Cook the mushrooms until tender and dark, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the sage midway through the cooking time. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, to taste, after they're dark and tender, as salt slows the browning by drawing out liquids.
  • Meanwhile, in a second small skillet over medium heat melt another tablespoon of the butter. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the sauerkraut, cook until warmed through, then turn off the heat. While the onions cook, heat a cast iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Season the chicken liberally with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Add the extra-virgin olive oil to the pan or griddle and cook the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate. Wipe down the skillet or griddle, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Thinly slice the chicken on an angle.
  • Add the sour cream, relish, and ketchup to a small bowl and stir in the fresh herbs.
  • Lightly butter 1 side of the bread slices with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Build the sandwiches with buttered sides facing out, in this order: dressing, cheese, mushrooms, sliced chicken, sauerkraut with onions, cheese, and ending with the dressing to set in place. Grill the sandwiches for about 3 minutes on each side. Serve with pickles and salted radishes.

EASY CHICKEN MELTS

"These cheesy, Cajun-flavored sandwiches are toasty and delicious right out of the oven. When I have leftover baked chicken breasts, I cut them up and use instead of the canned chicken," says Jessi Holland of Pensacola, Florida.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Skillet Chicken With Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions image

This comforting one-pot dinner is reminiscent of a rich French onion soup, but made in less time and with lighter ingredients. Cooking the onions in a hot, dry pan forces them to release their moisture, so that they shrink and become silky and sweet in 30 minutes. Serve everything directly from the pan, with some crusty bread to soak up all the juices, or shred the chicken and pile it on top of buttered noodles. For something green, stir in some spinach to wilt at the end or serve alongside a simple green salad or roasted broccoli.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
3/4 pound cremini mushrooms, stems removed and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley or dill leaves and fine stems, roughly chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino (optional)
Bread or cooked pasta, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
  • Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
  • Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.

GRILLED CHICKEN & MUSHROOMS - EVERYDAY ITALIAN



Grilled Chicken & Mushrooms - Everyday Italian image

This is a recipe I adapted from Giada's Everyday Italian. She also recommends grilling shrimp and bell peppers with this, but I'm not a fan of either of those and wanted to post this as I have it. She also suggests serving over saffron - I serve with salad instead. I cooked mine on my George Foreman grill and I can honestly say it is one of the best chicken recipes I've ever tried. Full recipe is on foodnetwork.com - Enjoy!
