I am always grateful for the opportunity to be an entrepreneur, working from home. There are the standard reasons; no boss, time freedom, setting my own schedule and so on. Today, I thought about another one.
I get to indulge in two of my favorite passions. Cooking and eating! Working from home allows me to do that. Let me explain: I just fixed myself a delicious lunch. It was one of my specials. This, for me, is an added benefit from working at home. I love cooking and do lots of cooking for one. Did I mention that I love food?
People often ask me to bring one of my creations to potlucks or other gatherings. I realize I never write anything down; I just throw things in the dish, or the pan. So, for the most part, when they ask for a recipe, I have no measurements. This time, after the sandwich turned out so well, I decided to think about the ingredients I used and exactly how much. Well, it did not quite work, as you will see, because I do not know how much a handful of grated cheese is. Perhaps an ounce or two.
When I was a kid, my mother always made her own tartar sauce for fish. I have adapted her recipe to fit my taste. She never used dill relish. (We always had dill pickles, though.) This was sooo yummy:
Chicken Cheese Sandwich with Spicy Sauce by Diva Chef Angie
2 slices light-style oatmeal or whole wheat bread
2 small onions or 1 medium, thinly sliced
Large handful reduced fat shredded cheese (recommended 4 Cheese Mexican)
2-4 slices rotisserie chicken
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Dried Oregano or Italian seasoning
Garlic salt
Freshly ground pepper
Diva Chef’s Spicy Sauce (Recipe below)
Toast the bread. Heat oil in a small heavy skillet (I have a small cast-iron) on low to medium heat. Add onions and cook slowly until soft and caramelized, but not brown, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally with wooden spoon.
Add chicken to onions, rough chop chicken and mix well (About 30 seconds). Sprinkle with oregano or Italian seasoning, garlic salt and pepper to taste.
Add shredded cheese. Cut off heat and cover with heavy top for about a minute until cheese is melted. Pile mixture on toasted bread slathered with tartar sauce. Cut in half. Enjoy with low-salt potato chips for an added treat.
*Diva Chef’s Spicy Sauce*
1 cup light mayonnaise
¼ cup light or non-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons dill relish
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
Mix well
*My granddaughter and her friends love this sauce with my fried catfish nuggets. It is great also on deli sandwiches and in potato or chicken salad.
Enjoy!
