Philly Chicken Steak Sandwich

On one of our trips to Florida, we ate at a restaurant that serves Halal sandwiches, basically Halal American food. For people like us, it feels like hitting a jackpot. As much as we feel like trying the american food, unfortunately we do not have American restaurants in New Jersey that would serve halal food. I am pretty sure that will change with time, with the increasing Muslim community and their demands to try out new cuisines, but for now, we get excited each time we find a restaurant serving non Indian/ Pakistani halal food.

So, going back to us trying the American chicken sandwich, we tried a Philly chicken steak sandwich which was absolutely delicious. The sauce, the marination flavor of the chicken grilled with cheese that melts in the mouth and all the flavors mixed with crunch of grilled bread.

The sandwich is something you fall in love with, specially the kids. The spice levels are moderate which makes it easy for people who do not enjoy a lot of spice. So, after we returned home, I had to give this lovely sandwich a try. The few things that I changed included the spice level [which is optional] and the size of the bread. The sandwich we had was a part of french long bread and I find that a little hard, since it gets more crunchy and a hard texture once it is grilled. swapped the Long French bread with the hot dog buns, they kind of make it easier for kids to hold, and also the softness of the bread soaks more juices from the chicken making the sandwich more flavorful.

Instructions

1. Take a pan and add butter and oil to it. Adding oil to the butter helps the butter melt without burning. Add chicken and saute for 2 mins, till the chicken changes color.

   
2. Add turmeric powder, salt, black pepper powder, red chili flakes, and garlic powder. Add ½ cup water and let the chicken cook at low to medium heat.

   
3. Once the water dries up, add the dry parsley. Mix up well and cook till the chicken gets a little brown or crunchy. Take the chicken out of the pan. Turn the oven on at 350F.

   
4. Add the sliced onions to the same pan, without cleaning. The onions will cook taking flavors from the spices that chicken has. The onions can also be added without this process. In any way you add them, the sandwich will taste great.

   
5. To assemble, take the chicken and mix it up with garlic mayo sauce. Take the hot dog bun, add the Garlic Mayo sauce and carefully place the onions in between.

   
6. Add the chicken pieces carefully.

   
7. Also, spread some garlic mayo sauce.

   
8. Sprinkle some cheese. Put the assembled buns in the oven for 5-7 minutes and up till the cheese melts.

   
9. Serve warm.

   
10. You can always serve just the chicken with Onions and sauce minus the bread.
