Chicken & Carmelized Onion Sandwich W/ Gruyère & Sicilian Pesto

 

Tired of ham and cheese sandwiches? This will light your pants on fire and have you begging for another one……..please Sir! It’s the second thing I do that my wife begs for, and I’m not telling you what the first thing is. Ok, it’s actually my chicken parm.

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of a semi dark loaf or whatever you prefer.
• 8oz of chicken breast sliced lengthwise in three pieces then cut into 1/2 inch strips
• 1 medium onion cut into 1/4 inch rings
• 2 tbl of Sicilian pesto
• 2 slices of Gruyère cheese
• 1/2 cup of chicken stock
• 2 tbl butter

In a frying pan melt your butter on medium high heat. Place your onions in the pan and cook stirring only occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen the stuck bits and pieces. As the pan begins to dry out add half your chicken stock and stir scraping the pan.

When the pan dries out again add the rest of your chicken stock and reduce in half, then  add your chicken. When the chicken is done add your cheese and melt within the chicken and onions, almost like a Philly cheese steak. On your slices of toasted bread place 1 tbl of the Sicilian pesto on one side of the bread leaving the top without pesto.

Place your chicken, onion, and cheese mixture on top of the pesto, cover with the top and shove bit by bit and bite by bite into your mouth. HEAVENLY!
