I love this stuff. My husband makes the best, which is a recipe here on the website. (I will link at the end). I was at the grocery store a couple of days ago and found a huge mega section of fresh bakery items on clearance. You know what I did, right? You guessed it, swooped up a bunch of rolls and buns and tossed them in the freezer.
I have been on a bit of a sandwich kick lately. I just would be happy with a sandwich for every meal. Perhaps it is the fresh tomatoes I can top each one with, or maybe it is the unfortunate carb addiction I have. Either way, if my husband has to eat another sandwich he will probably fall over! In order to disguise said sandwiches, and being hungry for the cordon and the bleu, I decided to make one of my favorite dishes into a a hot sandwich. Ask me how soon you should make these. Go ahead, ask me.
You can't get to the kitchen fast enough! These are SO very good. In fact, they turned out 100 times better than my best expectations I can't wait for you to try them, all cheesy, and toasty and resting right next to a bowl of soup!
Fall, it's the most wonderful timmmeeeeee of the yeeeaaaarrrr!
3 large chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces (or strips)
1 T. Italian seasoning
3 T. butter
2 heaping T. flour
2 cups milk
6 oz. Swiss cheese
pinch of salt
1 lb thin sliced deli ham
6 rolls of your choice
In a large skillet, add in chicken and Italian seasoning, stir and cook until the chicken is completely cooked through. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a small saucepan melt the butter, add flour and let it cook for about 1 minute, stirring often. Add in milk, salt and whisk. Let the mixture begin to simmer and thicken, then add in your cheese. Mix until completely melted and remove from heat.
Line a baking sheet with foil. Lay the rolls out and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Place in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes until toasted. Remove.
Place a spoonful of chicken on the roll, top with 2-3 pieces of ham, cover the top with a ladle of swiss cheese sauce. Do this with all of the sandwiches. Place back in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
Serve with a delicious Garden Caprese Salad!
ENJOY!
