Chicken Herb Sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 1 Deli rotisserie chicken
  • ¼ cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning herb paste
  • 3 Bakery ciabatta rolls, sliced
  • 4 oz sliced mushrooms (1 cup)
  • 1 ½ cups baby spinach leaves
  • 3 (1-oz) slices Swiss cheese

Prep

    • Preheat oven to 400°F.
    • Shred chicken (breast only) into large pieces (2 cups).

Steps

    1. Cut ciabatta rolls in half. Combine mayonnaise and herb paste; spread 1 tablespoon evenly over both sides of rolls and place on baking sheet. Divide chicken evenly over bottom halves of rolls. Top remaining upper halves of rolls with mushrooms, spinach, and cheese.
    2. Bake sandwiches (open face) 10–12 minutes or until chicken is hot and mushrooms are tender. Assemble sandwiches; cut each in half. Serve.

Warm Napa Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head Napa cabbage
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms (2 cups)
  • ⅓ cup spinach salad dressing
  • 2 teaspoons country Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese

Steps

    1. Slice cabbage lengthwise into quarters. Cut into ¼-inch-thick slices (about 6 cups) and place in large bowl. Cut bacon into thin strips (wash hands).
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Place bacon in pan; cook and stir 3–4 minutes until crisp. Drain bacon (reserve 2 tablespoons bacon fat in pan). Add mushrooms to pan and cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender.
    3. Combine spinach dressing and mustard in small bowl; stir into mushrooms. Cook and stir 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; pour dressing over cabbage. Add blue cheese and bacon; toss until evenly coated. Serve.

Serving Suggestions

  • Complete your meal with fresh cut fruit and carrot cake for dessert.
  • In step 3 of the salad recipe, the residual heat from the pan will wilt the cabbage for a hearty, warm salad.
