Chipotle Thousand Island Chicken Salad Sandwich
It was so unbearably hot here yesterday that I was really in the mood for a crispy refreshing salad for dinner. Also, however, in the back of my mind lingered an image of a perfectly cooked chicken breast sandwiched between a soft bun, topped with melted swiss and lightly dressed with a delightful spicy thousand island sauce. So, I combined the two and created the Chipotle Thousand Island Chicken Salad Sandwich.
The first step was to prepare the sauce. In a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, ketchup, dill pickle relish, sweet pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, a spoonful of adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chilis, a dash of garlic powder and salt and pepper. Stir to combine and keep in the refrigerator until needed.
In a seperate mixing bowl I combined shredded lettuce, thinly sliced red onion and diced tomato. At the last minute I dressed the salad topper very lightly with the thousand island sauce.
I purchased a small fresh boneless skinless chicken breast from the supermarket and pounded it out to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. The chicken breast was seasoned simply with salt and pepper and sauteed in a preheated skillet until cooked through or about 10 minutes per side. While still in the hot pan I placed 2 slices of swiss cheese over the chicken and let it melt down over the top. Finally, I placed the swiss cheese topped chicken breast on the soft bun and crowned it with the salad and an additional dollop of the spicy sauce.
