Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 slices Bread of choice
  • 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise (or roasted garlic and thyme aioli)
  • Handful of Arugula
  • 2–3 tablespoons Apricot Preserves
  • ½ cooked Chicken Breast, shredded
  • 2–3 slices Brie Cheese
  • Thinly sliced Red Onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler: Set the oven broiler to “high” and prepare a baking sheet for toasting and melting the cheese.
  2. Toast the bread (optional): Toast both sides of the bread slices until just brown for added texture and flavor.
  3. Prepare the base slice: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or aioli on one slice of the bread and top it with a handful of fresh arugula. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the top slice: Spread a thick layer of apricot preserves on the other slice of bread. Layer the shredded chicken evenly on top, followed by thin slices of red onion, and then place the brie cheese slices over everything.
  5. Melt the cheese: Place the prepared slice with chicken and cheese onto the baking sheet and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, until the brie cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Assemble the sandwich: Remove the melted cheese slice from the oven and place it on a plate. Top it with the arugula-topped bread slice, pressing down gently to combine the layers.

Notes

  • To enhance flavor, you can use roasted garlic and thyme aioli instead of regular mayonnaise.
  • If you do not have brie cheese, substitute with another mild, creamy melting cheese.
  • Adjust the amount of apricot preserves to your preferred sweetness.
  • Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free bread.
