Greek Chicken California Club Sandwich with Feta Mayo



Part II!


Yes, I know I posted my Greek Chicken California Club Sandwich with Feta Mayo before. But, I decided to post it again because not only is it my favorite sandwich of all time, it's being featured today in the Huffington Post, and I wanted to remind all my friends of the level of sandwich goodness provided by making and eating this sandwich.


Greek Chicken California Club Sandwich with Feta Mayonnaise

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes plus marinating time

Chicken Marinade:

4 boneless, skinless, chicken breast
small container Greek yogurt

1 tbsp creole seasoning
1 tbsp. dried oregano, crushed in hands
1 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced

Directions:

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Slice chicken into cutlets about 1/2 inch thick, slightly frozen chicken breast will make this easier.

Place chicken in a large bowl and mix well with remaining ingredients. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to 4 hours.

To Assemble Sandwich:

Marinated Chicken (recipe above)
1 lb of black forest ham
1 lb of smoked turkey

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place bacon on a tray and cook  until crisp about 20 minutes.  Drain and set aside.

Toast bread and set aside. In a large skillet add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook chicken about 4-5 minutes per side over medium heat, or until browned and cooked though.

While chicken cooks, in a small bowl add feta cheese, mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon of crushed oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of chopped Italian parsley and mix with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and set aside.

Slice avocado and toss with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper and creole seasoning.

Slice Tomato and sprinkle a pinch of  black pepper and creole seasoning. Slice cucumber and red onion and set aside.

Spread feta mixture on both pieces of bread, top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, chicken, ham, turkey, avocado, onion, cucumber or whatever order you prefer. Enjoy!
