Here is a delicious chicken sandwich for you to try! It’s an Amazing Southwest Cilantro Lime Mango Chicken Sandwich—boy, is that a mouthful! Not only is the name long-winded, but the sheer amount of ingredients is just mind boggling… but it’s TOTALLY worth it. This is one HELL of a sandwich!
Here is what you will need:
MARINADE
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 jalapeno chile pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh lime zest
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound chicken breast tenderloins or strips
SALSA
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 jalapeno chile pepper, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
GRILLED VEGETABLES
1 sweet onion cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 red bell pepper, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
LIME MAYONNAISE
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
16 thick slices French bread
2 mangos – peeled, seeded, and sliced
8 slices Monterey Jack cheese
For the marinade, you place all of the ingredients in a bag with the chicken, seal and shake the bag to coat; then refrigerate.
Next you make the salsa…cover…refrigerate. Then it’s time to make the veggies; then set aside. You then make the lime mayonnaise…whisk…cover and refrigerate.
Now comes the easy part, you grill the marinated chicken until no longer pink in center and grill the red peppers and onions…when chicken and veggies are done you slice the peppers into thin strips. It’s that simple!!
Spread each slice of bread with the lime mayonnaise. Layer half the bread with sliced mango…salsa…chicken…onions…cheese. Return to the grill and grill until bread is toasted and cheese melts. And there have it, your grilled sandwiches!!
I would like to thank Patricia and All Recipes for this amazing…tasty and delicious grilled southwest sandwich. This might just be the king of all sandwiches. I hope you agree. Enjoy!
