CILANTRO-LIME CHICKEN SANDWICHES
You can use any type of bread or roll for this sandwich. We like the ciabatta, but have used other breads and rolls, whatever I might have handy. You can also pan fry the chicken if you can't get to a grill.-Debbie Speckmeyer, Lakewood, California

Steps:
- Pat chicken breasts dry and sprinkle with 1/2 the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the very hot oil and cook, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when chicken is pricked with a fork and both sides are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside, reserving drippings in the skillet.
- Add green onions and bell pepper to the drippings in the skillet. Cook until tender, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Simmer until juices have reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes more. Add cream and continue to simmer to reduce slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cilantro, plus remaining Cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken to the skillet, cover, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes more.

Steps:
- Gently separate the skin of the chicken from the meat with your fingers.
- Whisk together the soy, sambal, mustard, pasilla/ancho powder, cumin, salt, lime zest and juice and a few cracks of black pepper. Pour into a ziptop bag, add the chicken and marinate, refrigerated, overnight.
- When ready to cook, place a cast-iron skillet on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet and lower the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Add the vegetable oil to the skillet, place the chicken breast-side down in it and return it immediately to the oven. Roast until well browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Gently flip the chicken and cook until the breast registers 160 degrees F, about another 10 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Slice and serve with Creamy Cilantro Sauce.
- Put the cilantro, oregano, honey, mustard, cumin, serrano, lime zest and juice and garlic in a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides to evenly distribute. Add the mayo and pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

CHICKEN SANDWICHES WITH GARLIC CREAM SAUCE
This is a chicken salad with a garlic cream sauce that I got from a friend in Cornwall. It's really tasty. Something like the gryro sandwiches, in which you can use pork or steak for the sandwiches as well. Just pour the sauce over the pork or steak instead of mixing it with the chicken. For the steak you could add crumbled blue cheese if you so desire.

- I add about 3 tbs mayonnaise, 1/4 tsp (or more) mustard, and then i added 3 tbs sour cream.
- You can use more if you prefer, depends on your taste.
- Mix together thoroughly, and add to the veggies and chicken.
