Focaccia Chicken Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Slice bread quarters in half, place each quarter on a plate, spread with margarine, then mustard.
• Place slices of cheese on the bottom half of each bread quarter.
• Top cheese with 2 slices of bacon, top bacon with onion slice, top onion with lettuce leaves, top lettuce with tomato slices.
• Set aside.
• Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, pound to 1/4 inch thickness.
• Place flour on a plate, add salt, pepper and oragano, mix until well combined.
• In a small bowl, beat egg with water.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick frypan on medium high heat.
• Meanwhile, dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture, shaking off excess, submerge chicken breast in egg/water mix, drain off excess and place in hot frypan.
• Lower heat to medium.
• Cook chicken until golden brown, about 10 minutes on each side, until no longer pink.
• Place one chicken breast on each focaccia bottom on top of tomato slices, top with the top piece of focaccia bread, press down, cut in half if you wish and serve immediately, with lots of napkins.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Marinate the chicken in the Balsamic Base for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat a grill pan or grill over medium-high heat.
• Let any excess marinade drip off the chicken, and then grill the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until cooked through. Once cooked, let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Then slice thinly on the bias.
• For the spinach and artichoke spread: Squeeze the drained spinach with a kitchen towel to dry it out. Place into a food processor with the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Puree until smooth. Taste for seasoning and add the artichokes. Pulse 2 to 3 times to leave the artichokes slightly chunky.
• For the sandwich build: Cut the Fresh Focaccia in half equatorially. Spread each half with Spinach Artichoke Spread. Then, on the bottom of the bread, sprinkle over the sliced sun-dried tomatoes, top with chicken slices, place a layer of mozzarella down and top with arugula. Place on the other half of bread and cut into as many pieces as you like and enjoy!
• Heat the balsamic vinegar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, salt, pepper, basil, thyme, garlic and shallots into the saucepan and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 30 to 45 minutes. Once the mixture is reduced, strain it through a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl and let cool. Store the balsamic base in the fridge; it's great in salad dressings, marinades, drizzled over steaks...let your imagination run wild.
• Place the water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the sugar, sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it bloom until bubbly, 5 to 15 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose and wheat flours together with the salt and chopped rosemary. Gradually add the flour mixture to the bloomed yeast in the mixing bowl. Then add 1/2 cup of the olive oil.
• Using the dough hook attachment, mix the dough on medium speed until it becomes smooth and soft, 8 to 10 minutes. The dough will be very loose.
• Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and knead the dough by hand for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Wipe out the bowl you mixed the dough in and then coat the bowl with some olive oil. Return the dough to the oiled bowl and let it rest in a warm place, covered with a dish towel, until doubled in size, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Oil a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet with the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil. Spread the dough into the pan using your fingertips to create dimples into the dough. The more dimples you make, the more texture the bread will have.
• Using a pastry brush, oil the dough and place leaves of rosemary into some of the dimples. Top with the tomato slices and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Cover the dough again with the towel and let rest in a warm spot until doubled in size, another 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degree F and set a rack in the middle of the oven.
• Bake the dough until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all contents of salad kit and chicken strips. Toss to combine.
• Cut focaccia loaf in half horizontally. Fill focaccia bread with chicken Caesar salad. Cut focaccia sandwich into 8 portions.
• Take each rosemary stalk and strip bottom half of the rosemary from the stalk, leaving leaves at top.
• Insert rosemary skewers through tomatoes.
• Insert each rosemary-tomato skewer into the top of each sandwich.

Steps:

• Heat a barbecue or grill.
• Stretch the dough. Place the dough on the hot barbecue. Allow to cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until brown on both sides.
• In a bowl add the rucola and season with freshly-squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Mix together.
• Lay the dough flat on a plate and layer with prosciutto, rucola, and Parmigiano cheese. Fold the foccacia and serve like a sandwich
• Add the water to a bowl. Then add the yeast a little at a time and break up the cube of yeast with your hands.
• Add the flour on a smooth work surface and create a well in the center of the flour. Slowly add the yeast-water mixture, olive oil, and salt until the flour has absorbed the liquid. Knead the dough until the mixture becomes an even dough consistency. If necessary, add a little more flour to absorb any excess liquid.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal portions to make individual-size pizzas. Place on a lightly-floured surface or pan and cover with a cloth. Let rest for about an hour at room temperature or until the dough has doubled in size.

Steps:

• Mix mayo and garlic; spread onto cut sides of bread.
• Layer remaining ingredients on bottom half of bread; cover with top bread.
• Cut into wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Slice your focaccia bread like a giant hamburger bun. Select toppings/fillings that go well with your flavor of focaccia-i.e. ham & cheddar cheese on the cheddar jalapeno loaf, turkey & mozzerella with marinara on the parmesan loaf, turkey, havarti & apple on the herb loaf, roast beef, fresh mozzerella, roasted red peppers & lettuce on the veggie loaf, etc. The combinations are endless-be daring! You can make them & then slice them in wedges like a pizza or pop them in the oven & then cut them up! Let me know about some of the great combination you come up with!

Steps:

• Slice bread in half lengthwise.
• Slice peppers into 1/8 inch slices.
• Slice onion and mushrooms.
• In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat.

Steps:

• Mix zucchini and salt in medium bowl. Transfer to colander; set over bowl. Let stand 15 minutes to drain liquid from zucchini. Rinse and drain zucchini. Squeeze zucchini to remove liquid.
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and sauté 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Add ricotta, Parmesan and lemon peel to zucchini. Stir to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Preheat broiler. Arrange focaccia pieces cut side up on baking sheet. Broil focaccia just until lightly toasted. Spread ricotta mixture generously over 8 focaccia pieces. Broil until ricotta mixture is heated through and beginning to brown in spots, about 4 minutes.
• Top 4 focaccia pieces with tomato slices, then with chicken slices, dividing equally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with remaining 4 focaccia pieces, ricotta-mixture side down. Cut sandwiches diagonally in half and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread brown mustard onto the chicken breasts to coat, and place them in a baking dish. Bake for about 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, bring 1/2 inch of water to a boil in a small saucepan with a lid. Add the broccoli, and cook for 7 minutes, or until tender but still bright green. Drain, and set aside.
• Shred or cube the chicken, and place onto the bottom half of the focaccia bread. Spread the broccoli over the chicken, and top with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake this part of the sandwich (without the top) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Place the top of the bread over the filling, and bake for another 5 minutes to heat through. Cut into small squares to serve.

• Cut into 6 wedges and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut prepared Foccacia bread horizontally in half. Place sliced pieces of swiss cheese on one half.
• Mix together cooked chicken, sliced green grapes, almonds, tandoori seasoning* curry powder, and mayonnaise. Stir ingredients together and spread mixture over the swiss cheese on the foccacia bread. Put bread together and slice to serve.
• *You can purchase tandoori seasoning in the grocery store, however if you have left over tandoori chicken you can use that instead and omit the powder. You can also adjust the flavor of this sandwich by increasing the tandoori spice or curry powder to taste.
