Open Rye Sandwich With Chicken Avocado Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken presentation-side down on a baking tray and sprinkle with half of the salt, tarragon, pepper, thyme and garlic. Flip the chicken, then sprinkle with the remaining salt, pepper and garlic. Spoon the oil over the chicken and rub to fully coat. Add the remaining thyme and tarragon, and then bake until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake in the same oven for 8 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and bake 8 more minutes. The bacon should be almost fully cooked.
• Chill the chicken until fully cooled.
• Using a very sharp knife, slice the chicken on a vertical bias across the breast into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
• Halve the ciabatta horizontally, then set it up open-face to build the sandwiches. Spread half of the ranch dressing onto the bottom piece of ciabatta. Stack the sliced chicken over the ranch, creating two or three layers. Cover the chicken with the sliced Cheddar and then top with the bacon.
• Bake both halves of the sandwich until the cheese melts, the bacon is crisp and the bread is toasted.
• Coat the top piece of ciabatta with the remaining ranch dressing. Top the bacon with the avocado, and then finish the sandwich with the top piece of bread. Cut into 4 pieces to serve.

Steps:

• Divide guacamole between rye bread, spreading it evenly. Arrange 4 slices of tomato on each sandwich, and top with a sliced Cajun grilled chicken breast (see 'goes well with'). Finish with lime juice and some ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Mash the avocado with a little chilli paste and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. Spoon over a slice of rye bread and top with the sliced smoked salmon and lime wedges.
• This is also good with sliced roast chicken or turkey.

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil and place the halloumi slices on it and grill for 3-4 mins, checking occasionally until golden.
• Divide the guacamole between the 2 slices rye bread, spreading it evenly. Arrange 4 slices of tomato on each sandwich, and top with the Cajun grilled halloumi slices. Finish with a squeeze of lime and some ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the eggs and cook for 8-9 mins until hard-boiled. Meanwhile, halve the avocado and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lime juice, season well and mash with a fork.
• When the eggs are cooked, run under cold water for 2 mins before removing the shells. Spread the avocado on the rye bread. Slice the eggs into thin rounds and place on top of the avocado. Drizzle some chilli sauce over the eggs, scatter the cress on top and add a good grinding of black pepper.
