Description

A delicious ciabatta sandwich loaded with charred peppers, shredded chicken, and fresh spinach.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/4 Cup Pine Nuts (toasted)
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Onions (diced)
  • Basil (sliced, to taste)
  • Ciabatta (or baguette)
  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 handful Spinach
  • 3 Cups Chicken (shredded, cooked)
  • 1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat a gas stove to high heat and place the peppers directly on the heat. Turn occasionally until black and charred. Alternatively, you can roast under the broiler in the oven.
  2. Remove to a ziploc and seal to steam the peppers for 15-20 minutes. Remove the skins, seeds, and stem, and chop. Set aside.
  3. Whisk the dressing together with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss all ingredients in it except the spinach.
  4. Heat the oven to broil and brush olive oil on the insides of the bread, toasting it slightly until browning begins. Rub with a sliced garlic clove and pile on the chicken and spinach.

Notes

  • For more flavor, roast a whole chicken and shred the meat.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of basil and red onions according to your taste.
