An openface grilled chicken sandwich with the flavors of a fajita, without the mess. Adapted from a recipe by laughingmagpie .
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced in thin strips
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 cup salsa
8 slices french bread, each 1/2-inch thick
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
lime juice
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a medium skillet until shimmering. Add the chicken and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add onions an peppers and saute until vegetables are tender, about another 5 minutes.
2. Add tomato juice and taco seasoning; stir well. Simmer until very thick and chicken is well-coated with sauce, stirring often to prevent burning, about 7 minutes.
3. Preheat broiler and place a rack about 6 from heat.
4. Spread 2 tbsp salsa on each slice of bread. Divide the chicken mixture evenly amongst the slices of bread. Top each piece with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Place under broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Finish each sandwich with a few drops of lime juice before serving.
