Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Blt Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Make the green goddess sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, chives, parsley, tarragon, capers, anchovy, garlic, lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small food processor. Puree until bright green and smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with water if needed. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the sandwiches: Season the chicken with salt and pepper and rub with the olive oil. Grill, flipping once, until well marked on both sides and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate. Grill the buns until toasted.
• Serve the chicken on the buns with the green goddess sauce, tomatoes, bacon and lettuce.

Steps:

• Slice a"pocket" into the side of each chicken breast; stuff with a sun-dried tomato and 2 sprigs of oregano.
• Rub chicken with 1 Tbsp oil from the sun-dried tomatoes and season with the salt and pepper.
• Grill and baste with remaining 1 Tbsp oil from the tomatoes (internal temp 180 when chicken is done).
• While chicken is grilling, combine ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl.
• Remove chicken and cut into long, thin slices.
• Spread the bottom part of the focaccia bread with the dressing; divide chicken slices (enough for 4 sandwiches) and add, as well as 2 slices bacon, tomato slices and lettuce leaf per sandwich.

Steps:

• Heat closed contact grill 5 minutes. When grill is heated, place bacon on bottom grill surface. Close grill; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
• Meanwhile, place 1 chicken breast, boned side up, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. With flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin and working from center, gently pound chicken until 1/4 inch thick; remove wrap. Repeat with remaining chicken breast. Sprinkle chicken with Italian seasoning.
• Place chicken on bottom grill surface. Close grill; cook 4 to 6 minutes or until fork-tender and juices run clear.
