Spicy Smokey Chicken Sandwiches & Flavorful Give Away!



Ciao!

Recently I was given the opportunity to sample
a set of natural herb seasoning blends offered
by  the Ariosto Spa Buccinasco company in Italy.

And the exciting news is that the kind people from this fine
company have invited me to have a drawing
for the same gift pack to two of my followers!







Here is the generous gift two winners will receive ~
full size containers of a variety of
herb seasonings, specially blended, using
all natural herbs and sea salt, sent to you
directly from Italy!

I've been having fun in the kitchen using the
seasonings ~ they are perfect for adding
unique and delicious flavors to grilled, roasted, or
sauteed meats, poultry, vegetables as well
as eggs and stews.

Most recently I made these 
Smokey-Spicy grilled chicken breast sandwiches.





Just brush or spoon the marinade ~ (recipe below)
over boneless/skinless chicken breasts, (sliced
in half lengthwise, to make them thinner.)
Allow to marinate while your grill is heating up. 

You can grill them outdoors, or inside on a stove-top
grill.  They only take a few minutes to cook ~ and
during that time you can mix up the simple
Lemon-Aioli for the sandwiches.

Ingredients for Sandwich:

For two servings:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise 
to make 4 thin cutlets.

Marinade:

In a container large enough to hold the sliced chicken,
 mix together:
1 teaspoon Aristo meat poultry seasoning 
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 tablespoon good olive oil
Spread/brush mixture on both sides of chicken slices.

2 Sandwich Rolls
Lettuce, washed and chilled 
Tomatoes, sliced

Lemon Aioli:

Blend together 1/4 cup good mayonnaise,
plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice until thoroughly blended.

Grill the chicken, mix aioli, toast sandwich rolls if desired.
(While chicken is on the grill mix aioli.) 
Spread 1/2 of the aioli on the base of 
each sandwich bun, top with 2 chicken slices, lettuce,
sliced tomatoes ~ and enjoy! 

These received high praise here ~ and that always
makes me happy.


This recipe was adapted from Donna Hay ~ I must
say, the additional herb blend from Ariosto Spa Buccinasco
truly put the flavor over-the-top!
