Caribbean-Style Chicken Sandwich

Submitted by Starrynews

"I had a craving for a favorite dish from a restaurant, so I decided to see if I could imitate it at home. Jerk seasoning recommendations for marinating will vary - so check your recipe or bottle to see how long in advance you'll need to prepare the chicken. I use a homemade one that marinates overnight."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 tablespoon jerk rub
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• cayenne pepper, to taste
• 6 slices roasted red peppers, diced
• 1⁄2 red bell pepper, roasted
• 1⁄2 yellow bell pepper, roasted
• 2 whole wheat hamburger buns
• 2 slices swiss cheese

directions

1. Apply the jerk rub to the chicken, leaving enough time to marinate as stated by the recipe or bottle you are using.
2. When ready to prepare dish, combine the garlic, mayonnaise, and cayenne pepper, and mix well.
3. Add the diced roasted red pepper and pulse through a blender or food processor.
4. Prepare a pan with nonstick cook spray and cook the chicken over medium heat, flipping it occasionally until it is cooked through.
5. Split and toast the wheat buns.
6. Spread red pepper mixture over one half and place the cheese slice on the other.
7. Top the cheese with the hot chicken, add the roasted peppers, placing a mixture of both kinds on each sandwich, and top with the remaining bun half.
8. Enjoy as is, or you can give it a quick 20-30 seconds in the microwave to heat up the roasted peppers, as well.

Very good sandwich. I used regular whole wheat bread and only used green bell peppers. Used packaged jerk seasoning but otherwise made as directed. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious sandwich! I usually don't care for red bell pepper, but roasted they are quite good. I really loved the mayo and garlic.Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT9

Great sandwich. I grilled the chicken and added roasted jalapenos which really made it zippy.

Very tasty sandwich. I marinated the chicken overnight to have for lunch today. Instead of roasting the peppers, I grilled them along with the breasts, and served on Kaiser rolls. I love bell peppers on a grilled chicken sandwich, and the sandwich spread was delicious. Thanks for sharing.
