After eating something similar in a gourmet deli, I decided I could make this at home. An easy yet elegant sandwich, you'll be surprised how good it is!

Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (6.0 ounce) package cooked and carved chicken breast (such as HormelĀ®)
1 red onion, thinly sliced
4 slices sourdough bread
3 ounces grated fontina cheese
1 pear, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet; cook and stir chicken breast and onion until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Wipe out skillet with a paper towel. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until bubbling. Add 2 bread slices; sprinkle half of the fontina cheese on top. Cover cheese with half of the chicken and onion. Cook until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Layer pear slices over chicken and onion; press bread slices together to make a sandwich. Repeat with remaining oil, bread slices, fontina cheese, chicken, onion, and pear slices to make second sandwich.
