Let’s start at the beginning, all great sandwiches
start with the bread, it has to be great fresh bread, and the right type of
bread for the filling. And with a wonderful aioli this sandwich has to have crusty sour dough
baguettes (find a great bakery near you, or
ask Shelley and we will find one for
you).
If you live California’s greater bay area I recommend
Semi Freddies, or Acme. But both can be found in fine grocery markets.
Ingredients:
2 loafs of crusty baguettes
2 whole chicken breast
1 tablespoon Rosemary's Poultry Spice Blend
4 large red bell peppers
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Fire up the grill!!!
To make aioli: In
a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, parsley, and
garlic until combined well and season with salt and pepper. Aioli may be
made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
Char the peppers on the grill, put them
in a paper bag until cool enough to peel, skin will come right off. (Don’t
run under water for this will take the char flavor away.)
Pound or cut chicken breast to even
thickness. Season generously with Rosemary's Poultry Spice Blend.
Grill chicken breast until center reaches 165 degrees (about 4 minutes each
side, depending on thickness)
Cut baguettes into breast sized pieces
(typically in thirds). Slice them open and spread on aioli top with
grilled chicken, roasted red bell pepper, and the other aioli covered slice
and enjoy.
