Grilled Pear and Chicken Sandwich
View my experience with this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 pear, cored and thinly sliced (can be peeled, if desired)
- 4 English muffins, split
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 slices of deli-style chicken breast
- 4 slices of muenster cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions:
To assemble, spread cut side of muffins with mustard. Top 4 of the muffin halves with a slice of chicken, 5 or 6 pear slices, and a slice of cheese. Top with the remaining muffin halves, cut side down. Spread butter lightly on the outside of each sandwich.
Heat a large skillet or grilled over medium to medium-low heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and cook about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Turn sandwiches over and cook another 5 minutes or until golden and the cheese has melted.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
