sandwich.

This is Rachael's recipe.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast cutlets
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or half-and-half, whichever you keep on hand for coffee
2 jarred roasted red peppers, patted dry and chopped
A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
4 crusty rolls, split
4 slices smoked Gouda cheese*
2 cups chopped watercress (from 1 bunch)




Directions

Preheat the broiler.

Season the chicken breast cutlets evenly with smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil, twice around the pan, in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest, tented with foil.

Wipe out the pan and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with salt, pepper and milk, or half-and-half. Add the roasted peppers and parsley to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, then add the eggs and scramble to your desired doneness with a wooden spoon or spatula.

While the eggs cook, toast the rolls under the broiler for 1 minute, then remove them to a work surface. Keep the broiler on.

To assemble, slice the chicken and pile it on the roll bottoms. Top each Sammy with one quarter of the eggs and a slice of cheese. Place the Sammies back under the broiler for 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Reserve the tops.

When the cheese has melted, transfer the Sammies to plates and top them with a pile of watercress, then set the roll tops in place.

I changed it a little for us.

The cutlets Rachael had were paper thin. My store doesn't sell cutlets so I use the very thin boned chicken breast.

Instead of olive oil I use PAM for cooking.

We like it better without the cheese, once used lettuce instead of watercress and the other night used soft, squishy white bread instead of a sandwich roll. Sandwich rolls are too much bread for Johnny and myself.

I have also found that the eggs stay in place better if you put them on the sandwich first.

Thank you, Sheri!!

We will try this when Maxi is home.
