Juicy Chicken Breast and Ricotta Sandwich
Homemade Chicken Breast and Ricotta Sandwich
A recipe for a fresh and simple chicken breast and ricotta sandwich, inspired by homemade burgers.
Main Ingredients- 3 chicken breast cutlets
- Fresh lettuce
- Baby greens (mesclun mix)
- Bell peppers (various colors)
- Creamy ricotta cheese
- 1 ciabatta roll
- Mustard sauce
- Pickles
- Balsamic vinegar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the chicken breast cutlets and pat them dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat and cook the chicken cutlets until golden brown on both sides. Ensure they are cooked through and remain moist.
Step 2
Slice the ciabatta roll in half. Toast the cut sides in a dry pan (no oil needed) until lightly golden. This will make the bread warm, slightly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, perfect for a sandwich.
Step 3
Spread your desired amount of mustard sauce on the toasted inner side of the bottom ciabatta half. Then, arrange fresh, crisp lettuce leaves attractively on top of the sauce.
Step 4
Next, either tear or slice the moist, cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and layer them over the lettuce. The mild flavor of the chicken breast will enhance the overall taste of the sandwich.
Step 5
Add thinly sliced pickles for a tangy crunch and sweet bell peppers for color and a hint of sweetness, layering them over the chicken breast. This adds visual appeal and a pleasant texture contrast.
Step 6
Now, generously dollop creamy ricotta cheese on top of the vegetables. The smooth, creamy texture of the ricotta cheese will blend beautifully with the other ingredients, creating a delightful taste sensation.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle a touch of balsamic vinegar over the ricotta cheese to add a sophisticated flavor note. Top with a handful of fresh baby greens, then place the top half of the ciabatta roll to complete your delicious sandwich.
Step 8
Voila! Your hearty and delicious chicken breast and ricotta sandwich is ready. It’s wonderfully mild and tender thanks to the chicken breast. If you prefer an even more succulent texture, feel free to substitute chicken thigh meat for the chicken breast – it’s also delicious! Perfect for brunch or a light meal.
