Caribbean-Style Chicken Sandwich image

I had a craving for a favorite dish from a restaurant, so I decided to see if I could imitate it at home. Jerk seasoning recommendations for marinating will vary - so check your recipe or bottle to see how long in advance you'll need to prepare the chicken. I use a homemade one that marinates overnight.

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon jerk rub
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
cayenne pepper, to taste
6 slices roasted red peppers, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, roasted
1/2 yellow bell pepper, roasted
2 whole wheat hamburger buns
2 slices swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Apply the jerk rub to the chicken, leaving enough time to marinate as stated by the recipe or bottle you are using.
  • When ready to prepare dish, combine the garlic, mayonnaise, and cayenne pepper, and mix well.
  • Add the diced roasted red pepper and pulse through a blender or food processor.
  • Prepare a pan with nonstick cook spray and cook the chicken over medium heat, flipping it occasionally until it is cooked through.
  • Split and toast the wheat buns.
  • Spread red pepper mixture over one half and place the cheese slice on the other.
  • Top the cheese with the hot chicken, add the roasted peppers, placing a mixture of both kinds on each sandwich, and top with the remaining bun half.
  • Enjoy as is, or you can give it a quick 20-30 seconds in the microwave to heat up the roasted peppers, as well.
