Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 slices brioche bread
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 oz grilled chicken breast, 3/4″ – 1″ thick, sliced
  • 2 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp Divina caramelized onion jam
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Butter the Bread: Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each brioche slice. This will help achieve that golden, crispy texture when grilling.
  2. Prepare the Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Ensure it’s hot before placing the sandwich to get an even cook and melt the cheese properly.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one brioche slice, spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Layer the sliced grilled chicken evenly over the mustard, season with salt and pepper, and top with the mozzarella slices. Spread the caramelized onion jam on the unbuttered side of the second brioche slice.
  4. Grill the Sandwich: Place the sandwich, buttered side down, on the preheated grill or skillet. Press down gently with a spatula and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden and crisp. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is toasted.
  5. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the heat. Let it rest for a minute, then slice diagonally if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of savory chicken, creamy cheese, tangy mustard, and sweet onion jam.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken beforehand with your favorite herbs and spices.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with provolone or Swiss cheese for a different taste.
  • If you don’t have Divina caramelized onion jam, you can use any quality caramelized onion spread or chutney.
  • Use a panini press if available for perfectly pressed and evenly grilled sandwiches.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
