Rolled Chicken Sandwich With Arugula And Parsley Aioli Recipes

CHICKEN AIOLI SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, garlic, green onions, chile flakes, and peanut oil. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a small roasting pan or on a baking sheet. Roast the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Cut the chicken crosswise into very thin slices.
• Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the rolls horizontally and place on a baking sheet with the top half cut-side down and the bottom half with cut-side up. Place 1 slice of provolone on the bottom half of each roll. Cook until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
• Place 1/4 of the chicken on top of the melted cheese. Top with romaine lettuce, tomato, and red onions. Spread some of the Aioli on the top half of the roll and place the roll on top of the sandwich.
• In a food processor or blender, combine the garlic, basil, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard and process to combine. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until it is all added and the mixture is emulsified. Add the lemon juice and check the seasoning.

GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES WITH ROASTED PEPPER AIOLI

Steps:

• Working with one chicken breast half at a time, place it between 2 sheets of waxed paper and, using a meat pounder, pound to an even thickness of 3/4" thick. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place in a nonreactive dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and thyme. Turn the breasts over several times to coat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate overnight.
• To make aioli, preheat a broiler (grill). Set the bell pepper on a baking sheet and place in the broiler about 6inches from the heat source. Broil (grill) turning with tongs, until skin is blistered and charred black on all sides, about 15 minute Enclose the pepper in a paper bag and let cool completely.
• If broiling the chicken, leave the broiler on. If grilling the chicken, prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Oil the grill rack.
• Remove the stem from the pepper and discard. Slit the pepper open, then remove and discard seeds and ribs. Remove the blackened skin with a small knife or your fingers. Coarsely chop the pepper. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted pepper, egg yolk, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, tomato paste, parsley, salt and pepper. Process until pureed. With the motor running, add the olive oil drop by drop. As the mixture begins to emulsify, add the oil in a slow, steady stream. Continue to process until the aioli is thick and has the consistency of mayonnaise. The aioli can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• By Broiler: Remove chicken breasts from the marinade and arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until lightly browned, 3-5 minutes. Turn and broil until lightly browned on the second sides and firm to the touch, 3-5 minute Transfer to a plate. Place the bread on the baking sheet and toast, turning once, until golden, 3-5 minutes total.
• By Grill: Remove chicken breasts from the marinade and place over the hottest part of the fire or directly over the heat elements and grill until lightly browned, 3-5 minute Turn and grill until lightly browned on the second sides and firm to the touch, 3-5 minute Transfer to a plate. Place the bread slices on the grill rack and toast, turning once, until golden, about 2 min total.
• Spread the bread slices with aioli. Place the chicken breasts on four of the slices. Put the remaining slices on top. Halve the sandwiches and serve at once.

ROLLED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH ARUGULA AND PARSLEY AIOLI

Steps:

• For the Aioli: Place all the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Transfer the aioli to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the Sandwich: Add the shredded chicken to the aioli and mix well. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Using tongs, add the tortillas, 1 at a time, and cook until warm, about 30 seconds each side. Place the warm tortillas on a work surface and spread with the chicken mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle the arugula over the chicken mixture.
