Gourmet Chicken Sandwich

Not a bad start, and kind of boring as is, but my additions took this over the top to something truly magnificent! I made the sandwiches on "Bread Machine Focaccia," also from this site. I rubbed the chicken breasts with olive oil, and seasoned them with salt, pepper, and Montreal Chicken Seasoning. I didn't saute them in a skillet, prefering instead to grill them. I also built a "deluxe" version of this sandwich by adding bacon, Romaine lettuce, and sliced tomato. It was out of this world delicious and, paired with "Rachel's Tomato Basil Soup," was a picture perfect summer meal.

This was absolutely delicious. A couple of notations I might add. I used lowfat mayo and it had plenty of flavor. Also I grilled some red pepper and red onions in butter in a separate pan and added it on top of the chicken. For the size bread I had there was only enough spread for 2 sandwiches. I would recommend doubling the spread. We will use this often.

FABULOUS! My husband, four kids, and I just loved this sandwich. I quadrupled the dressing - it is just great and will work well on other foods. I topped the sandwiches with roasted red peppers, leaf lettuce, and sliced tomato. Also used a Rosemary Focaccia. My family wants this again tomorrow night for supper! Thanks so much! I cannot say enough good things about this recipe - but I suggest the roasted red peppers and also make extra dressing.

Quick and very tasty! I cooked my chicken on my George Foreman for 5 minutes and threw all the ingredients for the spread in my mini food processor-it took no longer than 10 minutes from start to finish.

Awesome sandwich! I used some leftover italian herb grilled chicken I had on hand. All I need to add was some roasted red peppers and some cheese. My husband added a bit of bacon to his of course! This was perfect for a quick and easy meal.

I made this sandwich for a party and people talked about it for weeks. I bought the foccia bread at Panera Bread and sliced in half so I had two large rounds, then added the lettuce, chicken and sauce. Best to slice your chicken thin. It was outstanding!

I made my own bread for this- not a focaccia, but a nice french peasant bread. I split it, spread a garlic/rosemary/dill butter on the inside and toasted it... Terrific. I will _try_ it with the foccacia next, just on the off chance, but I cannot see how it could taste better... One comment; the quality of the mustard is very important. The Dijon is the bare _minimum_. I ended up using Pommery, which is a stone ground French mustard. Very, very grainy and thick. Worked so well that I started fantasizing about starting a restaurant so that I could serve this sanddwich.

Good eats. I used Dijonnaise and just added rosemary to that (hey, I'm all about ease over here). I also used perdue thin cuts (thinly cut chicken breast) to save time in the "pounding" area. I used the "easy focaccia" bread recipe from this site (with garlic added) and set out other condiments as in; tomato slices, romain lettuce, sliced red onion, etc. so everyone could create their own. Thanks Lisa!

I left out the bread and just had the chicken with the spread on top, with some veggies on the side and it made a great dinner.

EXCELLENT! Upon getting home late tonight and not wanting to really "cook" this was great!! I doubled the sauce (as others suggested), added a DASH of dill/garlic powder. I didn't have (nor could I find) rosemary foccica bread...just "plain" focciacia worked great for us. Added a leaf of lettuce and a slice of deli colby jack cheese....mmmmmmmmmm. Easy AND delicious! What a great combination!!

I made this for a dinner party - couldn't find foccacia; substituted pumpernickel and rye. Created make your own - served w/lettuce, roasted red peppers, red onions and cheese - great hit. Made chicken ahead of time & heated up in oven for 20 minutes before serving. Very easy - would definately make again - but use sliced jack cheese.

A simple recipe, though some may find it a bit bland. I topped my sandwiches with sauteed sweet onions and Swiss cheese. The addition of rosemary to the mayo/mustard spread is genius! I was disappointed that my purchased focaccia was moldy, so I had to serve the sandwiches on hamburger buns that I had on hand. I had planned to grill the chicken, but a thunderstorm forced me to saute them on the stovetop. I sprinkled the chicken lightly with Greek seasoning prior to cooking. A quick and easy weeknight recipe!

I absolutly love this recipe. Instead of buying the bread, I buy the packaged bread mix and just bake it myself. It is absolutly delicious!!

The sandwich was very good!! I altered it a little though... I used regular white bread and I added more rosemary to the sauce. The sauce was so tasty!!! I also put some mozzerela cheese in them

These are really good and easy to prepare. Having fresh rosemary enhances the dressing as you would expect any time you use fresh herbs.

Delicious! Everyone loved this and I cannot wait to make it again. I didn't have any focaccia bread available so I used refrigerated crescent roll dough (two triangles together to look like a square) to make the bread portion. I sprinkled powdered garlic and dried rosemary on top. I think this would be great for a gourmet picnic or served alongside a pasta salad. Thank you!

I loved this recipe, it was so good. My husband said it was a very good "quiznos" sandwich. I toasted the sandwich before serving under the broiler. It turned out to be a hit with the family.

This is a very good sandwich. It is quick and easy to prepare plus it tastes delicious. Next time I make this, I am going to add tomato slices, romaine lettuce, and shredded mozzerella. I'll toast the mozzerella, chicken and bread under the broiler and then add my veggies. Even though this sandwich could be served hot or cold, it loses some of its flavor as its cools.

Decent, "panera" type sandwich

Good base sandwhich! We added tomatoes, onions, avocados, and monterey jack cheese and then broiled the sandwhiches and it was great!!

This sandwich was great! Not overpowering and very filling. I served my chicken cold, and used the recipe for "bread machine focaccia".

Absolutely delicious. Husband loved this and I thought it was wonderful as well. Very easy to make and the taste is amazing. I did add some sauted onions and lettuce as a personal preference and the hubby wanted cheese, so you can change this up to suit your personal tastes and it still is wonderul. Thank you for the post.

This recipe rocks! Although I did modify it a little, I marinated the chicken in the olive oil and rosemary for an hour. and then barbequed the chicken. I still used the mayo/mustard/rosemary spread on the focaccia bread. everyone loved the recipe. I had a party and did this for the main dish, I had cut up tomatoes, greens available.

I've made this several times and I love it. My family enjoyed this too.

WOW. This was a FABULOUS sandwich!!!! My husband said that we could definately fool guests--they would think it was ordered out from a nice restaurant! I used ALOT of pepper (covered both sides of the chicken breasts which added a lot of flavor) and let both sides get dark and crunchy (a just grilled kind of texture). I served the chicken hot which was a fabulous combindation with the room temperature focaccia and cold, crisp lettuce I added to the top of the chicken. To make the dish look more gourmet and appealing, I served the sandwich open-faced on a large, green leaf of romaine lettuce, added a bright yellow ear of corn, and some sliced tomatoes. Looked beautiful but tasted even better!

This is an absolutely fabulous recipe! I am now addicted to it and will be going broke buying piles of chicken breasts from now on! It is a little messy though, so not terribly kid friendly.

Delicious! I like to add a few slices of tomato and some baby spinach leaves for a great sandwich all around. You could also use turkey instead of chicken. Very good.

Great sandwich with a great taste!

This is a really good sandwich & not difficult to make, nor time consuming. I placed a sheet of plastic wrap over chicken breast before 'wacking' it with a meat tenderizer... Thanks Lisa!

Very yummy! I bought a prebaked foccacia from Panera and used it. Next time I think I will double the amount for the spread as I couldn't taste it much once the sandwich was made. I did add roma tomato slices and mozzarella cheese slices and baked in the oven long enough to melt the cheese. It was very good warmed up the next day also!

Delicious, I did make it my own by adding avocado, tomato, & lettuce oh and bacon. But I'm sure it would be good with out the extras but it is excellent with them.

The best sandwich I ever had. Did use red peppers and added a little dill and green onions to the sauce.

This was very good! Per other reviewers' suggestions I added romaine lettuce and tomatoes. I also ended up cooking the chicken in rosemary, instead of putting the rosemary in the spread, and it was excellent that way.

The thinner you can pound the chicken, the better. Like others recommended, I doubled the sauce ingredients and it was just enough for 4 sandwiches. As I could not find the focaccia bread, I used Oroweat Country potato bread. I would love to try it with the garlic rosemary focaccia bread. Next time I think I will try a slice of provolone cheese on the chicken breast as soon as it comes out of the skillet.

The spread is what makeks this sandwich so tasty. The recipe makes more than you will probably put on the sandwiches, but offer the additional to your guests because they will probably want it.

Very good sandwich and relatively easy to make. Will definitely make again!

These were delicious. My daughter asked for them for lunch today, when we just had them last night. I would make these again.

This sandwich is fantastic! I doubled the sauce, and used a packaged mix for the focaccia bread, which I made with the dough cycle of my bread machine. Simple and easy! Loved it and have added it to my favorites. Thank you!

This was delicious and easy to prepare. I made the bread and spread ahead of time. My husband loved it.

Very good recipe, I prepared foccia bread from a box mix, and pounded the chicken very thin. Great recipe, I will definately make this again. Thanks for a great recipe.

I was skeptical but this was delicious! As everyone seems to have put their own twist on it, I might as well say that I added crumbled Feta Cheese and it gave it a great kick!

This was great. I served with caramelized onions.

Great! My husband and I both loved these. I didn't have time to make the bread, so I put slices of our normal homemade white bread on a cookie sheet, sprayed them lightly with canola oil, sprinkled with garlic and rosemary and lightly broiled them.

Great sandwich! I normally don't like chicken on my sandwiches (except thinly sliced chicken) but this was really good! I used crushed dried rosemary instead of fresh.

I added lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese to the sandwich. Delicious!

the exact thing for my always hungry son...thank you

We really enjoyed this sandwich. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good but add some more spice to the rosemary-mustard-mayonnaise. Served with Cream of Asparagus soup submitted by Wm Anatooskin

This is one of those recipes that you make and then you wonder why you pay good money to eat in a restaurant. What a yummy sandwich!

This was fantastic and we will make this again and again. Only problem I had is I could not find focaccia bread and I am not a big baker. I used Cabata bread instead and it turned out great. The seasonings in the mayo made this recipe and for a touch of spice I added some horseradish.

Okay...if I would make again, I would use another type of bread per our taste.

This sandwich was great! I got compliments from everybody at the table. It even held up well wrapped in foil in the fridge for left-overs the next day!

My husband loves this recipe. He was even more impressed when he found out that I made the bread myself with the Easy Focaccia Bread recipe.

this sandwich was pretty good. it was a liitle too much work i thought. pounding the chicken was the worst part of it all. make sure you buy the thinnest slice of chicken breast meat you can find to make it easier and quicker.

This is a great base chicken sandwich to add whatever you like too! Let me tell you that sauce is so good! On mine I did a Mediterranean cheddar, tomatoes, onions and a slaw I threw together. It was messy but worth it! Thanks!

Very tasty! I added roasted peppers, tons of sauteed onions and mushrooms and topped with Jack cheese. Yum!

Great!!! Added lettuce and tomato. Let dough rise in 100 degree oven for about 25 min. Dough raised just fine.

Yummmmm. Awesome chicken sandwich. I marinated the breasts in a garlic marinade then cooked them on the grill instead of frying them. My family looked at me like I had two heads when I served the chicken on the foccacia instead of rolls like I usually do, but they changed their tune once they had a taste. Thanks so much for the recipe!

The spread for this was great. However the bread I used wasn't. It was some grocery store cheese bread. I will have to make this again with the focaccia bread (I searced 3 grocery stores for it but couldn't find any). I think the spread would be great with fish.

Absolutely FABULOUS!!!!! I did take another persons suggestion and doubled the dressing and added lettuce to the sandwich. We had this sandwich for dinner two nights in a row at my picky husband's request. I was fortunate to have been at the bakery just as the focaccia was coming out of the oven. Thanks, Lisa, for a recipe that will be used over and over again in this household.

I made this recipe for my mother and family the day i returned from college on Mother's Day. It was easy so it didn't require much pre-planning, and everyone absolutely loved it. A really good focaccia bread is key for them to turn out well.

We loved this chicken sandwich(well the sauce really made the sandwich great). I will make this a regular lunch sandwich. I also made double the sauce. Thanks LCLARKE.

A great sandwich for a fancy lunch or summer dinner. I made extra spread and used it on every sandwich I ate for the next week!

This was a great sandwich. I used deli sliced chicken and just sauteed it really quick with the garlic and cracked black pepper in some warm olive oil for flavor then assembled as directed. My son was hesitant to try the rosemary but I talked him into letting me use crushed rosemary and he ended up liking this sandwich as it is. I used a sub sandwich roll since I didn't have the focaccia. Very good, thanks.

excellent.

Followed the recipe pretty closely. substituted the foccacia for some kalamata olive boule bread (because that is what I had on hand)and toasted it in a pan first. I used more of the dressing and added thin slices of cheddar and seeded tomato slices. I heated up the open faced sandwich under the broiler. Very good, will try again. Thanks for the recipe.

this was great! for the sauce, i added a few more things into it. i added sage and some parsley into it, as well as fresh lemon juice to give even out the spicy dijon mustard. i also added lettuce and tomatoes so there wasnt just chicken and bread. the chicken was grilled instead of sauteed and i waited for it to cool down

I have used this recipe many times & it is perfect for any meal. The sauce is simple to make and tastes amazing.

I'm fixing this for a second time...says something about it being pretty darn good. For a change I fixed this simple recipe without adjusting ingredients. They made really good cold sandwichs as leftovers. I used regular foccaccia bread and chicken tenders. I'll probably pound the tenders a little this time...fill the bread better. I like the idea of a slice of bacon or cheese and rubbing the chicken with any seasoning of choice. I use Smart Balance mayo and extra garlic.

alright

Co-Workers loved it. They think its great!!!

don't add the bacon. and bake the chicken. casey liked the sauce.

I have six kids,and they thought this sandwich was amazing! I added lettuce,cheese,and tomatoes too. I also baked zucchini and squash for my vegetarian husband,and he loved it! Next time will try it with mushrooms!!!!!

I thought these sandwiches were terrific! I made some changes, I grilled the chicken and served it on asiago cheese bread, but I left the spread the same. It was so good...I could have just had it on the bread, minus the chicken! Also, served these sandwiches with homegrown tomatoes and avocado slices. Delicious!

I love this recipe. On my low carb diet I just eliminate the bread so I can still eat this wonderful dish.

Tasty, easy sandwich recipe. The sauce is the best part. I turned the chicken over and cook both sides, to make sure it was cooked all the way through. I added cheese, lettuce and grilled onions... You can also add a dash of seasoning salt if you have it. The foccacia bread is great warmed too. Yum.

I write reviews to remind me what my family said about the food I cook. My brother, who was over at the time, said it tasted like a Jack in the box chicken sandwich, but better. Hubby, who doesn't like mayo too much, said it was good. I would make this again.

No substitutions necessary. Amazing!

This is a great base. I added cheese, roasted peppers & onions, and mixed greens.

Great Sandwich. Really delicious. Nice for both lunch or dinner. I added some mixed greens to mine to give it a nice color and taste.

I didn't care too much for the dressings on the sandwich. I thought it was too much flavor going on all at once with the bread and the dressing. I didn't think it was tasty, but everyone else liked it okay. It wasn't a huge hit. I won't be making this again.

This was easy and very good! Double the amount for more yummyness and add a slice of swiss cheese!

We love the sauce for this recipe and it is so simple.

WOW! Made it with focaccia from TFM; added fresh spinach under chicken; roasted red pepper strips and provolone cheese over chicken. Ran under broiler before topping sandwich with bread just long enough to melt cheese. YUM!

Really great sandwich. I didn't saute my chicken 12-15 minutes, it was only 1/4 inch thick, that takes maybe five minutes max. I thought the sandwich could've used something more, tomatoes or spinach or cheese, but as it was I still liked it very much.

Loved this! I had leftover chicken thighs already cooked, so I just warmed those up and used them. The focaccia I used had plenty of garlic in it, and the spread was perfectly sweet/tangy. I used creamy dijonaise as that's all I had for mustard, and added honey til it tasted just right. Will be making this many times as summer comes and we want a warm but not hot meal.

Great and tasty! I did add some sweet onions and lettuce to the sandwich. We enjoyed it! :)

I've made this 6 times and have it down to about 10 minutes. Best chicken sandwich yet.

I tried this with simple bread and it turned out great. although added a little salt and served with potato wedges or mashed potatoes was a great idea.

Awesome chicken sandwich! I recommend warming up the bread which brings out the flavor even more. Will make again and again for myself and family and when guests come over.

it's a very simple sandwich, but it tastes great! the spread is DELICIOUS! i added fresh grated parmesan cheese, and i think next time i'll have to add lettuce and tomatoes.

Delicious!!!! I really thought I was eating a sandwich from a bistro. I added a piece of smoked provolone cheese and it was awesome and easy as well! Highly recommend.

This is a great chicken sandwich. I bought chicken scallopini already flattened at the grocery store, and sauteed it along with the garlic in olive oil. It only took 5 minutes on each side. I also covered plain focaccia with olive oil for salads and dressings and sprinkled with rosemary, and put it under the broiler until toasted. I then laid the chicken cutlets on top of the bread and added roasted red peppers on top, left the top slice of focaccia off and served open faced. Served with a simple salad. It was amazing.

it is a great base for a very delicious sandwich.

This is one of the BEST sandwiches you will ever eat. Make the Easy Focaccia from this site with it. You won't be disappointed.

Delicious! I broiled the foccasia with jalepeno havarti then put a layer of spinach under the chicken. I also used a garlic grain mustard as i was out of dijon. Will be a go to sandwich on a lazy day!

Very easy and tasty.

I made this for my husband when he came home from work. He thought he had done something awfully good to deserve this sandwich!!! I bought the bread, but I saw a mix for it in the bread machine box aisle. I think I'll try making my own next time. VERY GOOD!
