If you want to enjoy your guests, slow down, relax, and take time to enjoy the process. One way, for me, is to watch the look on your guests’ faces when they take a bite of something really good! You can also try my Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches Board!
I had a few friends over for lunch last week and I made a delicious, Roasted Strawberry Chicken Sandwich, which in reality, is one of my favorite sandwiches.
Let me just say, the look on their faces when they took a bite of this sandwich was priceless.

How do you make a Roasted Strawberry Chicken Sandwich?
Today’s sandwich recipe so easy to make!
- Take one baguette and cut in half, and then again lengthwise. You’ll have 4 long pieces of bread.
- Combine butter and garlic and spread evenly over the bread.
- Layer pieces of rotisserie chicken on top of the garlic butter, topping with thick slices of fresh mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the oven.
- Top with strawberries, fresh chopped basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze (I use Delallo brand).
Tips and substitutions:
- Garlic bread with chicken, strawberries, fresh mozzarella cheese, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic! The best “sandwich” ever!
- Replace the strawberries with tomatoes.
- Use Brie cheese instead of mozzarella.
- Use mango, cilantro, and Jack cheese for a Chicken Mango Sandwich.
- Leave off the chicken for a vegetarian version of a Chessy Roasted Strawberry Baguette Sandwich.
- Make your own balsamic glaze, or buy a good quality bottle (we love Delallo’s brand, nice and thick and rich!)
- Buy 2 bottle of Delall’s Balsamic Glaze – well worth the money!
- Substitute the chicken for steak – try this Steak Caprese Sandwich with tomatoes.
But more about friendships. Some may be reluctant to invite friends over for lunch. For me, sitting down and enjoying a meal with a friend is nourishment and pleasurable. It fills me up inside–whether eating in a home or even out on a lunch date–to sit and listen to my friends talk about their lives. I don’t feel like my house has to be perfect, and I really just focus on an easy meal, and a place where we can sit and talk.
Did I mention, watch your guests’ faces when they take their first bite?
De-Li-Cious.

I ma planning to make this tomorrow for some girlfriends. I just want to double check that the cheese is the fresh mozzarella–the soft cheese rather than the harder mozzarella like on ewould use on a pizza. PLease advise.
Yes, it’s the soft Mozzarella!
Gorgeous. I love the idea of using fresh strawberries in a sandwich.
It’s the perfect season for this sandwich! We already have bought so many pounds of strawberries already! Love it!
This is so pretty! I def want to make this with fresh berries this spring, yum!!
Strawberries and balsamic glaze are a dynamite duo, but this sandwich is over-the-top awesome! Definitely going to share it with friends this week. (We seniors enjoy afternoon socializing, without the pressure of time .)
I love this so much! The strawberries totally make this.
What a wonderful combination! Looks great, Sandy!
This looks amazing, Sandy! I’m making this for my kids’ lunch next week (mine, too!)!
I love your heart. I think a lot of people are sincere, but too rarely make the time to really build relationships. People like you are a treasure.
This may well be the most amazing and delicious thing I’ve ever seen!
What a beautiful sandwich and perfect for a sunny day outside.
Totally my kind of lunch! I love the combo of sweet roasted strawberries and cheese! Mmm!
Love the flavors in this sandwich, Sandy!
