Biltmore Sandwich image

Houston's in Coral Gables, FL (now gone) had a Biltmore Chicken Sandwich. It was a grilled, spicy-marinated, chicken breast with melted monterey jack cheese. Served on a toasted bun with arugula, red onion, tomato and honey mustard dressing. Here's how to make my version.

Time 40m

Yield 4 Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon fresh tarragon
1/2 cup Chardonnay wine
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 slices monterey jack pepper cheese (with jalapeno)
4 chicken tenders
4 leaves arugula or 4 leaves lettuce
4 slices beefsteak tomatoes
4 slices red onions
4 ciabatta rolls, toasted
honey mustard dressing

Steps:

  • Make the marinade by preparing and mixing all the ingredients in a bowl large enough for the tenders and the marinade.
  • Pound the chicken into 3/8 in thick medallions between plastic wrap. Trim tenders to fit the buns.
  • Light the mesquite charcoal briquettes. Marinate the breasts for 30 minutes while the mesquite charcoal briquettes are lighting.
  • Toast the buns while the breasts grill. Grill the breasts on both sides until almost done, making diagonal sear marks in a diamond pattern (about two to three minutes on each side).
  • Place the Pepper Jack slices on the breasts and melt on the grill (about 30 seconds).
  • Serve the breasts on the toasted buns with a leaf of arugula (or leaf lettuce), slice of red onion, slice of tomato and honey mustard dressing on the side.
  • Accompany the sandwich with shoestring potatoes or matchstick french fries.
