Balsamic Glazed Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Red Peppers and Goat Cheese

[heart_this] · Jan 31, 2008 · 26 Comments

Balsamic Glazed Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Red Peppers and Goat Cheese

The other day I had the Food Network on in the background and the Ina Garten was making a roasted pepper and goat cheese sandwich . The sandwich sounded tasty! I really like both roasted red peppers and goat cheese. I decided to take the base idea of a sandwich with roasted red peppers and goat cheese and go from there. I thought that grilled chicken would go really well in the sandwich. I also thought that the sandwich still needed some more flavour and a bit of moisture. Then a great idea hit me. How about balsamic glazed chicken? The reduced balsamic sauce would add lots of flavour to the sandwich and any extra sauce would be soaked up by the bun. The sandwich still needed a bit of green and I though that fresh basil leaves would be the perfect fit. As for the bread, I went with my favorite sandwich bread, ciabatta, which I toasted lightly so that is was slightly crunchy and nice and warm. The balsamic glazed chicken sandwich with roasted red peppers and goat cheese turned out to be really tasty!

    I want that sandwich. The ciabatta looks heavenly.
    Ina really knows her stuff, and so do you.
    I made a pizza the other night with goat cheese and roasted red peppers. I don’t know; I didn’t like it on a pizza, but a sandwich would be really good.

    Is there something between ciabatta and balsamic? I just love dipping the bread in balsamic + olive oil. Your sandwich combi can only be good!

    This sounds excellent, with the tang of the balsamic glaze balancing the richness of the cheese! For something slightly different, I would be tempted to substitute a handful of arugula for the basil leaves, for its nice peppery kick.

    This sandwich looks excellent. I’m always inspired by watching the Food Network. I literally have it on all day on Saturdays as I cook and clean. And that bread you used is perfection. I wish I could pick it right off my screen and eat it!

    I just made this sandiwch for dinner – but substituted fresh arugula for basil and added finely shopped chives to the goats cheese.

    also – you’re totlaly right about raisting the peppers yourself. i tried that for the first time, and it was well worht the bit of extra effort.
