I absolutely adore making up a jam-packed grilled chicken sandwich recipe. Cobb Salad stuffed baguettes take this handheld to the next level.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
FOR THE DRESSING:
⅓ cup Blue Cheese Dressing
1 tbsp. Aged Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
Black Pepper, if desired
FOR THE SANDWICHES:
1 Par Baked Baguette
8oz Fresh Mozzarella, sliced
1 lb. Grilled Chicken, chopped
2 Hard Boiled Eggs, chopped
6 Bacon Slices, cooked
8 Tomato Slices
¼ small Red Onion, thinly sliced
2 Avocados, sliced
1 cup Chopped Romaine Lettuce
Chopped Italian Parsley, as desired
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400F. Layer the bacon in a single-file line and bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until golden and crispy. Remove the cooked bacon with tongs and transfer to a stack of paper towels for cooling. Do not drain bacon fat.
Cut the baguette in half, widthwise, and then in half lengthwise. This will create two large sandwiches. Place the sliced bread, inner-side facing down, on the baking sheet and bake until slightly golden, about 6 - 8 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and set the bread on a wire rack to cool.
Whisk together the ingredients for the Balsamic Blue Cheese Dressing and set aside.
Transfer the bread, interior side up, to a serving platter. Spread each slice of bread with a layer of the dressing.
Layer the sandwiches with the mozzarella, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, romaine lettuce, and parsley. Top with other layer of bread, then slice the two sandwiches in half to create four smaller sandwiches.
Enjoy immediately. Serve extra Balsamic Blue Cheese Dressing on the side, if desired.
