The Best Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich

Drescription

This rotisserie chicken sandwich is flavored with a dressing inspired by muhammara—a Middle Eastern sauce made from roasted red peppers, breadcrumbs, walnuts and spices.

Ingredients

1 (12-ounce) jar marinated roasted red peppers, drained
⅔ cup unsalted roasted almonds or cashews
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ cup mayonnaise
12 ounces shredded rotisserie chicken (about 3 cups)
1 cup loosely packed little gem lettuce leaves
8 slices whole-grain bread, toasted if desired

Directions

Place 12 ounces roasted red peppers, 2/3 cup almonds (or cashews), 1/4 cup panko, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon coriander and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper in a mini food processor. Process until smooth and creamy (it's OK if some lumps remain), 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup of the mixture to a medium bowl; add 1/4 cup mayonnaise and stir until combined. (Reserve the remaining red pepper mixture for another use.)
Add 12 ounces chicken to the bowl with the dressing; fold together until fully coated. Arrange 1 cup lettuce leaves on 4 bread slices. Top with the chicken mixture (about 3/4 cup each). Top with the remaining 4 bread slices. Slice the sandwiches in half before serving, if desired.

Barbecue Shrimp A Down Home Messy Good Meal

This recipe has nothing to do with barbecue. These shrimp are cooked in a roasting pan, not in a smoker or on the grill. Cooked in their shells with more pepper, garlic, and butter than you are probably comfortable with, the shrimp come out ready for you to peel and eat. Sop up every drop of the sauce with good French bread and make sure you have extra napkins.
