Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded or sliced)
- 4 slices Rye bread (or other sturdy bread)
- 4 tablespoons Russian dressing
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Tomato (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Iceberg lettuce (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Pickles (sliced, optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Place the bread buttered-side down on a clean plate or surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of each slice.
Layer 1 cup of shredded or sliced cooked chicken on top of two slices of bread (unbuttered side). Sprinkle the chicken with salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Add a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the chicken. Then layer thinly sliced tomato and a handful of shredded iceberg lettuce. If desired, add a small amount of sliced pickles for extra tanginess.
Top the sandwiches with the other slices of bread (buttered-side facing out). Press them together lightly.
Carefully place the sandwiches on the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Flip gently using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, allowing the cheese to melt completely.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Russian Chicken Sandwich!
