Very easy and good! I marinated the chicken in what was suggested plus a little red wine vinegar, lemon pepper, and paprika. It was amazing! Also subbed shredded mozzarella for provolone since its what we had. For the salad I used farmshare pear instead of plum and added a bit of mayo to the dressing.
0 HelpfulWanted something quick and easy today, and this was it! Simple, straight forward recipe, but so good!....I got half way through the sandwich and realized I forgot to put cheese! Still very satisfying and leftovers packed away nicely for a second day lunch.
0 HelpfulThis was great for office lunches. If I had made the vegetables as written, I think they would have been really bland. I added plenty of salt and pepper and took another commenter's suggestion to add balsamic vinegar, and I also cooked the onions and peppers for quite a bit longer than called for to get some caramelization - pretty tasty with those mods!
