Grilled Veggie Sandwich

I found this recipe online while I was trying to decide how to use some of my vegetables. My husband and I ate it together for lunch this weekend and it sure was TASTY! I would definitely make this again! (Of course, we included chicken in this "veggie" sandwich for my husband's sake).

Original recipe here

Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Ready In: 50 min

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 1 chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 small yellow squash, sliced
  • 2 (4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally [Update: I tried this again with just plain bread (toasted) and it turned out fabulous! I think I'll always use regular bread in the future]
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
  1. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat the grill for high heat.
  3. Season chicken according to preference and brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of the grill, and set onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer. Remove from grill, and set aside. (Or, if you use a griddle, cook veggies and chicken in olive oil).
  4. Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don't burn. Remove from grill, and layer with the vegetables.
Serves: 4
