Now, I'm really not all that into chicken. I wish I was...but you won't see a lot of chicken on here. And when you do, it's going to be covered in sauce! Just like this :-) Thanks for the inspiration Red Robin!
Jerk-Chicken Sandwiches
2 whole wheat sandwich buns, or thickly sliced bread (we used leftover panini bread)
2 thin sliced chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups Caribbean Jerk marinade
1 tomato, sliced
2-4 slices of pepper jack cheese
4 rings of fresh pineapple
Marinate chicken breasts in a Ziploc bag for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Grill chicken on a Forman or outdoor grill, or cook over the stove in a large skillet. Place a slice of cheese on each side of the bread and warm in the oven until the cheese melts--usually about 350 for 5 minutes. Slice the tomato. Once the chicken is done, quickly sear the pineapple rings over the grill plates--just a few moments. Remove the sandwich buns from the oven, and top with chicken, tomato slices, and pineapple rings.
Be warned--although this dinner is quick and easy, it also gets messy when you're eating--have plenty of napkins! And apologies to Taylor, who does not think sandwiches and paninis are "real recipes"...just offering some fast and creative dinner ideas for weeknights!
