My Big Fat Greek Sandwich
- Makes: 4 servings
- Prep 25 mins
- Marinate 2 hrs to 4 hrs
- Grill 6 mins to 7 mins
Ingredients
-
4
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 pounds total)
-
2/3
cup
bottled Greek or Italian vinaigrette salad dressing
-
3
bay leaves
-
1
teaspoon
snipped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
-
1/2
teaspoon
ground black pepper
-
4
individual square ciabatta rolls, split
-
3/4
cup
crumbled feta cheese or soft goat cheese (chevre)
-
Olive Relish
Directions
- Place one of the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound chicken lightly until it is about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with remaining chicken. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
- For marinade: In a small bowl, combine vinaigrette salad dressing, bay leaves, oregano and pepper. Pour marinade over chicken. Seal bag; turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain chicken, reserving marinade, if any; discard bay leaf.
- For a charcoal grill: Grill chicken on the greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 6 to 7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling and brushing with the reserved marinade (discard remaining marinade). (For a gas grill: Preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place chicken on greased grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Remove chicken to a cutting board; cut each piece into thick slices.
- Horizontally split rolls. Hollow out inside of roll halves, leaving 3/4-inch-thick shells. Fill bottom halves with Olive Relish, place grilled chicken breast pieces atop, sprinkle with feta cheese and add roll tops. Makes 4 servings.
