Summer Sandwich

We love it when Daddy Cooks!!

Chicken Sandwich with Mango Salsa and Cougar Gold Cheese

Perfect Sandwich for a warm Summer Evening

This goes very well with an artichoke.

1 loaf Italian or French bread (We like the cheddar baked bread from Safeway, comes in a package of 2 loaves, the loaves aren't very large. If you use a larger loaf you may need to increase the amount of other ingredients.)

¼ - 1/3 cup mayonnaise

2 chicken breasts

Marinade or vinaigrette

Lemon Pepper

½ Cucumber

1 Mango

3-5 Green onions

1 Red bell Pepper

¼ - 1/3 cup Cougar Gold Cheese crumbled (the cheese is quite important. If you can't afford the Cougar Gold Go for a Mediterranean or Italian mix.)

1 Cup loosely packed sprouts (and/or other greens)

¼ - 1/3 cup poppy seed dressing

Bread Prep: Spread the bread with real butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and parmesan cheese and grill till lightly browned. Let bread cool and spread with mayonnaise.

Cooking Chicken: The chicken will stay on the bread much better if you pound it thin, about ½ to ¾ of an inch. Marinate or glaze chicken with any sweet marinade or vinaigrette (Italian dressing works just fine). I like some lemon pepper sprinkled over the chicken while it is on the grill.

Mango Salsa: dice mango, red pepper, and green onions. Stir together.

Sandwich Construction: Place cucumber slices on lower half of the loaf. Put chicken on top of cucumber slices. Cut breasts into strips that fit best on the bread. Put Mango salsa on top of chicken. Be liberal, but one sandwich will only need about half of the salsa. Top salsa with Cougar Gold cheese. Top with sprouts or other greens. Drizzle poppy seed dressing over the top of the sprouts or greens. Put the top on and cut it up. This is usually a messy sandwich, but totally worth it!

I understand that most you won't be able to get Cougar cheese it is sort of a Pullman thing. try the other cheese it is just as good.
