Green goddess grilled chicken sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 cup full fat yogurt
- 2 cups basil leaves
- 1 cup flat leaf parsley
- 2 green onions, roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta
- 1 ball of fresh mozzarella, cut into rounds
- 1/2 package thick cut bacon
- 1 head of romaine lettuce
- 1 loaf of pumpernickel bread
Directions
- To make the green goddess marinade, add yogurt, basil leaves, parsley, green onions, garlic, lime zest and juice, chili flakes and salt to a high powered blender. Blend on high until everything is well broken up and smooth.
- Add chicken breast strips to a zip top bag and pour one cup of the marinade over the chicken. Marinate the chicken for at least six hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once chicken has marinated, grill until cooked through. If using the bbq, grill bacon until crispy, otherwise crisp bacon in a pan.
- Add cream cheese and ricotta to a mixing bowl and add remaining marinade and mix well until smooth.
- To assemble, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese ricotta mixture to a thick slice of bread. Top this with a few grilled chicken strips, a mozzarella round, a few pieces of crispy bacon and a few pieces of romaine. Spread a bit more of the cream cheese ricotta mixture to another piece of multigrain bread and sandwich on top. Enjoy!
