Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons raspberry preserves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup fresh arugula or spinach
- 4 slices bread (ciabatta or sandwich rolls)
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
While the chicken is resting, in a small bowl, mix the raspberry preserves with the balsamic vinegar until combined. Set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on the unbuttered side of each slice.
On two of the slices (cream cheese side up), layer fresh arugula or spinach, sliced chicken, and spread 1 tablespoon of the raspberry preserve mixture over the top.
Place the other slices of bread on top (buttered side facing out), creating sandwiches.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the inside is warmed through.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. Enjoy your Raspberry Chicken Sandwiches!
