Ingredients
- 2 large slices of bread – I use my homemade sourdough!
- Spicy mayo – I used about 2 tbsp of Primal Kitchen Spicy Mayo (super clean brand!)
- Grilled chicken breast – I just seasoned mine with some garlic salt & pepper. Doesn’t need much with everything else in this sandwich!
- Havarti cheese – I used a Jalapeno flavored one from my local Publix. SO GOOD! I used 2 oz. approximately.
- Thinly sliced roma tomatoes (I did 3 slices)
- Sun dried tomatoes (I did about 1 tbsp of chopped sun dried tomatoes)
- Pepperoncini peppers
- Pickled onions – I made pickled red onions from scratch, 1 small handful.
- Avocado, sliced thin. I used 1/2 an avocado in my sandwich.
- 1 large handful of microgreens – I used the rainbow mix by Bright Fresh.
How To Make It
- Lightly butter a large nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Smear 1-2 tbsp of spicy mayo on the inside of both slices of bread (1 tbsp per side).
- On one of the slices, layer on the following: grilled chicken, Havarti cheese, tomato slices, sun-dried, tomatoes, pepperoncini peppers, pickled onions, avocado, & a large handful of microgreens. The order doesn’t matter too much, just whatever make sense to you!
- Top the sandwich off with the other piece of bread once the bread looks nice and golden on the buttered side. Remove from heat and dig in immediately!
