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
- 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.
- Remove to a ziploc and seal to steam the peppers for 15-20 minutes. Remove the skins, seeds, and stem, and chop. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
