Grilled Chicken Hoagies with Mango Chutney and Melted Brie Served with Tomato Cucumber Salad

I love sandwiches because they are one-stop shopping: meat, salad, and cheese, all stuffed into bread. Oooooh-la-la, this is one fancy French grinder. Vive la Hoagie.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

5 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil), plus some for drizzling
1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/3 palmful
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper
8 chicken breast cutlets
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (eyeball it)
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar (eyeball it)
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 English or European seedless cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, then thinly sliced into half moons
4 hoagie rolls (sub rolls)
3/4 cup store-bought mango chutney
8 ounces Brie cheese, cut into thin slices
1 bunch watercress, trimmed and coarsely chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.

    Step 2

    In a shallow dish, mix together 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, the thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cutlets and coat thoroughly. Let the chicken marinate while you get the salad together and grill up the bread.

    Step 3

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mustard, white wine vinegar, shallots, and a little salt and pepper. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons of EVOO. Add the grape tomatoes; with a fork smash some of the tomatoes against the side of the bowl so that their juices become part of the dressing. Add the sliced cucumbers and toss them to combine.

    Step 4

    Cut the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise like a book, without separating the two halves all the way. Drizzle the inside of the rolls with some EVOO, hinge the rolls open, and lay them down on the grill with the inside flat against the grill. Once they are well marked, 1 to 2 minutes, flip them over and grill the outside a little bit. Remove the rolls from the grill and reserve.

    Step 5

    Grill the cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes on one side. Flip the cutlets and top each with some of the mango chutney, spreading it out a bit, and 2 slices of Brie. Tent the chicken with a piece of foil and continue to grill it for 3 to 4 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the cutlets from the grill, cut each in half, and distribute the chicken among the grilled rolls, wedging it into the bread. Top the chicken with some of the chopped watercress and squeeze the hoagies shut. Serve the sandwiches alongside the tomato cucumber salad.
