Good Bread + Special Mayo = Great Sandwich!


For me, the formula for a great sandwich is simple—always use good bread and a special mayo. One of my favorites is a grilled chicken sandwich with cilantro lime mayo. To begin, I season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. I cook the chicken until done, then set aside to rest. For the bun, I like Kaiser rolls or a good onion roll, which adds much more to the sandwich than regular hamburger buns. The cilantro lime mayo is easy. Add chopped, fresh cilantro to mayo, along with minced garlic, hot sauce to taste, fresh squeezed lime juice, salt and pepper. Top with tomato, lettuce and purple onion, and your sandwich goes from ordinary to extraordinary!
