A four course dinner or a well prepared huge sandwich, they are equally valuable to me. As long as it is rich in its ingredients, a sandwich makes a great lunch or dinner. I like to have a sandwich especially on busy days like the one I had today. The best thing was that, my husband made the sandwich and I ate it, but of course I couldn’t help taking its photos and asking my hubby for the recipe. Don’t worry, I’m going to share his cheese stuffed chicken sandwich recipe with you.
He says he improvised it but I’m sure he was inspired by a photo on Pinterest. No problem for me of course, because it was really delicious. He knows I like cheesy stuffed chicken and cheese stuffed burger, so possibly he searched the net to make something I like. I love this man a lot, especially when he cooks for me.
Normally I don’t like chicken breast as I think it tastes rather dull, but marinating the breasts and filling it with cheese and some chili has made it really delicious. Whatever you do, chicken breasts have a dry texture, which sometimes make it difficult even to swallow. So it’s a good idea to have something wet with it or drink something. Luckily I had both: Caramelized purple onions and beer! They were great with cheese stuffed chicken sandwich.
However, the sandwich still needed a sauce or something for a more comfortable eating experience, so I put some honey mustard sauce in it. That’s my favorite sauce for chicken recipes. I like its sweet and hot taste, and it made my cheese stuffed chicken sandwich a real feast.
And the last touch was made by Mr. Lemon. I started squeezing some lemon over almost everything, I think it gives a freshness to everything it touches. It was good for my sandwich too. I enjoyed this sandwich recipe a lot, and I’m sure you will also like it.
