Posh Sandwiches!!!

Sometimes a good sandwich is the name of the game. As a child a sandwich meant two slices of buttered bread with ONE slice of ham, sandwich spread, which if you’ve never had it before it’s gag worthy (personal opinion) a slice of cheese, marmite or jam, not altogether of course…. How boring!?! It wasn’t until years later – in subway that I became enlightened to the way of a REAL sandwich, and that it can be spruced up into something brilliant, and a worthy meal on it’s own. I didn’t even know that sandwiches were acceptable as a meal for dinner. This next recipe is tasty, crisp and fresh, perfect for a hot summers day when you’re starving and salad isn’t going to be quite enough, but the thought of a hot heavy meal, just doesn’t appeal either. Put simply it’s a rather posh sandwich.

 Chicken on Crusty Ciabatta

1 skinless chicken breast

¼ cup evoo

1 tbsp lime juice

1 finely chopped spring onion

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/8 tsp pepper

¼ cup crumbled Roquefort (or other blue cheese)

2 Ciabatta rolls split and toasted

1 cup arugula leaves

Olives with pimentos to top

1. Carefully cut the chicken breast in half, Place the chicken breast halves into a large sealable freezer bag.
2. In a small bowl mix together the evoo, lime, spring onion, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Set aside half the marinade, and pour the rest into the freezer bag, place the chicken into the fridge for about an hour turning every so often. Drain the chicken and discard the marinade.
3. Grill the chicken for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
4. In another bowl mix together the blue cheese and remaining marinade, smear the bottoms of the rolls with the blue cheese and marinade mixture, then put the arugula on followed by the chicken and olives.
