In an earlier post, I did a meal that took simple ingredients and turned them into a yummy meal that took about 15 minutes to put together. Check it out here! I love those kinds of meals. Effortless, affordable, nutritious, and good! This meal is right along those lines. It uses ingredients you almost always buy at the grocery store or that are very common in your house, it uses cheap ingredients (but they are still healthy!) and is crazy good. So without further ado, here is the recipe for some delicious sandwiches.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Yields: 12 sandwiches or 6 people
Ingredients:
Inside the sandwiches:
1 dozen pre-made rolls (Hawaiian Rolls are the best or your local grocery store homemade rolls)
1/2 medium onion
A half to three quarters of a pound of sliced Oven Chicken Breast lunch meat
Sliced pepper jack cheese
Bunch of Spinach
Mustard-Poppy Seed Dressing:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp. prepared yellow mustard
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
4 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. white vinegar
1 tsp. poppy seeds
dash of pepper
Instructions:
1. To make the dressing, just mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Stir really well. Set aside.
2. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Also, get out a baking pan. Mine was a 9x13.
3. Cut the onion in half. Then make small slices along the half to get half-circles of onion strips.
4. In a pan on medium heat, add a little bit of olive oil and then add the onions. Cook the onions, continually stirring for 5 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from heat.
5. Take your dozen rolls and cut them in half horizontally.
6. Spread a generous amount of your Mustard-Poppy Seed dressing on the bottom half of the rolls.
7. Add a nice layer of your sliced Chicken Breast meat.
8. Then cover with spinach leaves.
9. On top of the spinach leaves, add your slices of pepper jack cheese.
10. Lastly, top with your cooked onions.
11. Put the tops of the rolls back on the sandwiches. Note: I was not smart and loaded up the sandwiches and put them together before I transferred them to the baking pan. It would have been wiser to put the bottom half of the rolls in the pan before I loaded them up with all the ingredients. haha hopefully you read this before you make the same mistake I did!
12. Lastly, brush or spoon a generous amount of the Mustard-Poppy Seed dressing on top of the rolls.
13. Pop in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes with foil on top, and then 10 minutes without the foil.
