Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • Sandwich:
  • 1 small baguette, cut in half lengthwise and then in half (you want to end up with 4 (4-inch) pieces, this is an open face sandwich)
  • 2 large cooked chicken breasts, thin sliced; or 2 cups sliced or diced leftover chicken
  • 1 medium onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
  • 1 cup cremini mushrooms, thick sliced
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese (2 per sandwich)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Barbecue Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup plain barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon chipotles in adobo sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Baguette ... Toast the baguettes until golden brown. Set to the side, they don't need to be warm.

  • Step 2: Chicken, Onions and Mushrooms ... In a medium size saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and saute until tender and golden brown; about 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the chicken (sliced or diced) and cook another minute or two, just to warm the chicken. Then transfer to a small bowl and set to the side.

  • Step 3: BBQ Sauce ... Add the BBQ sauce, honey, chipotles and garlic to a small bowl and mix well.

  • Step 4: Sandwich ... Top the toasted baguette with a tablespoon of the BBQ sauce, then the chicken, onions and mushrooms. Finish with 2 slices of cheese per sandwich - I used mozzarella, but provolone is a great substitute or even monterey jack or swiss.

  • Step 5: Broil ... Broiler on, second shelf down. You don't want the cheese or sandwich to burn, and you want the sandwich to warm up a bit. Five (5) to 7 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  • Step 6: Serve ... Just ENJOY! Serve this for lunch, cut into small bites for an appetizer, or make as 1 large baguette and cut into serving sizes for family style - it is a very flexible recipe. I love this sandwich and a bowl of soup for dinner.
