Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/3 cup fig jam
  • 4 (3/4 to 1 pound) bread rolls (3-inch squares ciabatta rolls, halved, weight is a approximate)
  • 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cooked chicken (sliced cooked chicken breast, rotisserie chicken works really well)
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 to 3 cups baby arugula (fresh, packed)
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: Spread jam over cut side of top half of each roll. In a small bowl, combine cheese and butter, stirring until smooth. Spread cheese mixture over cut side of bottom half of each roll.

  • Step 2: Arrange chicken over cheese mixture; sprinkle with black pepper. Place top half of each roll, jam side down, over chicken.

  • Step 3: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add rolls to pan. Place a heavy cast-iron skillet on top of rolls; cook for 5 minutes or until both sides of rolls are browned, turning once. These may also be done in a panini press or in a George Foreman type of grill that can be pressed.

  • Step 4: Remove rolls from skillet/press. Remove top half, jam side, of each roll and arrange arugula over chicken. Replace top half of roll. Slice each role diagonally and serve.
