GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

I found this recipe while watching television and my son and I love them. :) This serves 4.

Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
Your favorite soft bread or baguette
1/8 cup Fresh fennel leaves (may be called anise in your supermarket)
1/8 cup Fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp brown mustard
zest of 1 lemon
crisp lettuce leaves
sliced red onion (optional)

Split 2 chicken breasts (turned on its side and sliced down the middle), then place them between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound them flat and even. (you can use a small pan for this)

Spray your pan or stove-top grill with cooking spray or use a thin coating of olive/canola oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook chicken at medium heat for about 3 minutes each side.

In a bowl mix finely chopped fennel and parsley leaves with mayonnaise, brown mustard and lemon zest. Slice open your baguette or soft bread rolls and spread the mixture liberally onto your bread. If using a baguette, place all chicken breasts into the baguette, top with lettuce and onion, then cut diagonally into 4 even pieces. (If using soft rolls make sure they are big enough for each breast.)

These are SO DELISH!!!

I take the fennel/anise bulb, chop it up and mix olive oil, wine vinegar, basil and a tad bit of sugar to make a fennel salad. OK, mouth is watering now. :)

ENJOY!!
