Dijon Chicken Club Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy. Drain on a paper towel. Remove bacon grease and wipe out pan with a paper towel, return pan to stove and reduce heat to medium. Thinly slice chicken breasts against the grain. Lightly butter one side of bread slices, spread mustard on non-buttered side of one piece of bread. Add one slice of cheese, 2 slices of bacon, cut in half, and half the chicken to each. Top with remaining slice of bread and place buttered side down in the skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes until golden brown and flip. Cook about another 3 minutes until cheese is melted and sandwich is golden brown.
• 2. Dijon Chicken Marinade 1/3 cup Dijon mustard 2 T apple cider vinegar 2 T honey 1T lemon juice 1 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp salt Combine mustard, vinegar, and honey in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Add spices and stir. Prepare chicken breasts and place in a large plastic storage bag. Pour marinade over the chicken, close bag and shake bag gently and squeeze to evenly coat chicken. Refrigerate one hour. Preheat grill, oil lightly and add chicken over medium heat. Cook 5-6 minutes and turn (if chicken sticks, give it another minute or so), cook about 5 minutes more until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil for about 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. ENJOY!!

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients.
• Butter croissants - this is important as the butter makes a 'lining' to prevent the croissant from getting too soggy, and it tastes good too.
• Fill croissants with lettuce, tomato slices and chicken salad.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Put 1 chicken breast between two pieces of parchment or wax paper. Using a meat mallet (or the bottom of a heavy skillet), pound the chicken breast until it is 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Add the panko to a shallow dish.
• Brush the mustard on the pounded chicken cutlets with a pastry brush to coat both sides. Press each one into the panko, turning to coat well on all sides.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 of the cutlets and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the cutlets once and continue cooking until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer the cutlets to the prepared baking sheet and immediately season with salt.
• Wipe out the skillet and repeat the cooking process with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter and 2 cutlets.
• For the slaw: Place the celery seeds in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, until toasted and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, lemon juice, toasted celery seeds, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add the red cabbage, green cabbage, scallions and parsley to the bowl and toss well to combine.
• For assembly: Position an oven rack 3 to 4 inches from the broiler unit, and preheat the broiler to high. Split the brioche buns and toast until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Slice each chicken cutlet in half crosswise.
• Spoon a portion of the slaw onto each of the bottom buns. Stack the halved chicken cutlets on top of the slaw. Add the pickles and top buns and serve.

Steps:

• Combine chicken, celery, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice and pepper.
• Top 8 bread slices with lettuce, chicken salad and remaining bread slices.
