Chicken Suiza Sandwiches
Chicken Suiza Sandwiches are a Mexican Sandwich: tangy, slightly spicy, & very flavorful. Made with lime, honey, green salsa and greek yogurt.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 ½ limes juiced or 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 ½ cups green salsa
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt low or full fat*
- 4 cups rotisserie chicken shredded, or other shredded chicken works too.
- 6 sandwich rolls we like to use either ciabatta rolls or crusty rolls. Dinner rolls not recommended.
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Grab a rotisserie chicken or cooked and shredded chicken.
- Heat the oil in a fry pan over medium/ medium high heat. Cut up the red onion. I like to cut it into thin strips, then quarter those. Put the onion in the fry pan to sauté. Measure in the minced garlic. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, until onion is softened. Pour in the lime juice, honey and salsa and stir until hot. Stir in the Greek Yogurt and shredded chicken.
- Meanwhile turn on your broiler and stick your rolls in, insides facing up. Watch them carefully and take them out as soon as they start to turn golden. This step is important in avoiding a soggy bottom sandwich.
- Take them out and spoon the chicken suiza mixture onto the bottom of the bun.
- Top with a slice of provolone cheese and return to the broiler to brown. Watch it carefully so it doesn't burn! Remove from oven when cheese reaches the desired amount of doneness. We prefer ours to be nice and bubbly and browned.
- Remove from the oven and put the top of the bun on and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
Notes
For leftovers, I highly recommend not making the sandwich ahead of time, or it WILL get soggy. Store the chicken suiza mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Or store in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to use, repeat steps 9-12.
This recipe works best with low or full fat Greek yogurt. It helps it bind better and looks a little prettier. You can use non-fat but it will likely look a little clumpy.
