Fabulous Focaccia Sandwiches

I recently checked out a wonderful cookbook from my library: Better Homes and Gardens Fresh and Simple 20 Minute Super Suppers. As I flipped through the pages, I was sticking post-it's all over the place! This book is full of quick and easy recipes that look and sound SO good. The Fabulous Focaccia caught my eye because it called for rotisserie-style chicken...a perfect way to use leftover Sticky Chicken! This was on the table in 15 minutes or less and a big hit at our house. Gotta love that!

You start with a round of foccacia. Focaccia comes in so many flavors. This one happens to be roasted garlic, but next time I might have to go with something with rosemary or onion. Just slice it in half with a serrated knife.



Now mix 3 tablespoons of light mayo with a couple tablespoons of fresh, chopped basil.



Spread the mayo on the top and bottom halves of the sliced bread. Wondering why my sandwich is missing a wedge? I sliced a quarter of the focaccia out for the kids. I knew that they wouldn't go for mayonnaise, roasted red pepper, or onion...they ate their with just spinach and chicken. Lay some roasted red peppers on the bread. I had planned to roast my own red peppers for this recipe. You can read about how to roast your own red peppers HERE. I grabbed a couple of red peppers in produce, but when I hit the condiment aisle, I found a whole jar of roasted red peppers on sale for less money than a pound of peppers. Oh, yeah! I'm all for saving time and money, so I added that jar of peppers to my cart and returned the fresh ones to produce.



Layer on the chicken.



Then spinach and thinly sliced red onion.



Put a lid on it and cut into triangles.



I thawed some of my Cauliflower Cheese soup from the freezer and heated it up while I made the sandwiches. It was a winning soup and sandwich combo. Such a quick and delicious dinner!
