Roasted Strawberry Chicken Sandwich
Garlic bread with chicken, strawberries, fresh mozzarella cheese, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic! The best “sandwich” ever! Replace the strawberries with tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette bread, cut in half, and then lengthwise cut in half
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- ½ cup balsamic glaze, (we use Delallo brand)
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped or shredded
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place 4 pieces of the baguette on a large baking sheet with the cut side up.
- In a small bowl, combine butter and garlic and spread evenly on bread halves. Place the chopped chicken, and then mozzarella cheese slices on top of the bread. Bake the bread for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- 3. At the same time, slice the strawberries and lightly drizzle with balsamic glaze (saving most of the glaze for the final drizzle), putting in the oven and roasting for 3-5 minutes. (Optional, or you can serve the strawberries fresh without roasting.)
- Remove the bread and strawberries from oven. Top the bread with strawberry slices. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
