Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup salsa
3 whole garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 hamburger buns
4 large lettuce leaves
seasoned salt
pepper
a few drops fresh lemon juice (optional)
1/2 cup salsa
3 whole garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 hamburger buns
4 large lettuce leaves
seasoned salt
pepper
a few drops fresh lemon juice (optional)
preparation
In a skillet, saute chicken with garlic cloves for 5-7 minutes on each
side until chicken is white and opaque or until done (165°F). Turn
garlic cloves until both sides achieve a roasted appearance, then crush
them into the oil using a fork. Remove if the cloves begin to brown, as
this will make the oil bitter.
Meanwhile, brush hamburger buns lightly
with a few drops of olive oil (or melted butter if preferred) and broil
or toast until lightly golden on the inside.
Remove skillet from
heat. Slice each chicken breast into 3 or 4 pieces and divide evenly
onto toasted buns. Sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt and pepper, and a
few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice, if desired.
Top with salsa and shredded cheese; run under broiler just until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.
Variation:
This can be prepared on the outdoor grill. Marinate chicken breasts in
olive oil into which the garlic cloves have been pressed for 30 minutes
before grilling chicken over hot coals.
Makes 4 Servings.
