Mediterranean Grilled Chicken BLT image

A nice sandwich to make for a luncheon, a romantic picnic or outdoor family outing in nice weather; make ahead of time, refrigerate and serve later. Or serve hot aside soup or salad for a comfort food type of dinner during the cold winter months. I've used the George Foreman to grill the chicken and have grilled the sun-dried tomatoes atop the breast, along with dried oregano seasoning.

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped

4 pieces focaccia bread, 4 to 6 inches square,cut in half horizontally to make a top/bottom for sandwich

Steps:

  • Slice a"pocket" into the side of each chicken breast; stuff with a sun-dried tomato and 2 sprigs of oregano.
  • Rub chicken with 1 Tbsp oil from the sun-dried tomatoes and season with the salt and pepper.
  • Grill and baste with remaining 1 Tbsp oil from the tomatoes (internal temp 180 when chicken is done).
  • While chicken is grilling, combine ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl.
