  • 2-3 pounds chicken cutlets
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 1 Tablespoon parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 Tablespoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Roasted Tomatoes

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

For the Sandwich

  • Focaccia Bread (we made our own using King Arthur's Focaccia Bread mix)
  • 1 cup spinach and artichoke dip or spread
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

Grilled Chicken

  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients together. Place the chicken in a ziptop bag or large bowl, and pour the marinade over the top.
  • Refrigerate for a few hours, overnight is even better!
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Grill the chicken breasts about 3-4 minutes per side, until they reach 160 degrees F.

Roasted Tomatoes

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the tomatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with oil, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
  • Roast for 15 minutes.

To Assemble the Sandwich

  • Cut the focaccia bread into 4 rectangular pieces. Cut each in half to make 4 sandwiches.
  • Melt the mozzarella cheese on the grilled chicken.
  • Spread the spinach and artichoke dip on each piece of bread. Top with chicken, tomatoes, and arugula.
  • Enjoy!
