The big advantage of making a big roast chicken, beef, or lamb is the leftover. I love sandwiches, especially after a big meal day. As a mom, it’s a great way to use up leftovers, and the kids can also help by making their own sandwiches. And, this one is so easy that my kids make it often.
Bread – We love challah, so I am using two slices of challah. And yet, you could just about use any sandwich bread for this sandwich.Veggies – For me, adding veggies to a sandwich is a great way to get kids to eat more veggies. Butter – You can omit the butter but it just adds a little more flavor to the delicious challah.Cheese – I used 2 slices of Emmental cheese, but cheddar or any sliced yellow cheese would work for this.Cranberry sauce – When I have cranberry sauce on hand I use it. If not, you can also use mayonnaise or mustard. And, you can also use some turkey gravy to make a moist turkey sandwich.
Step by step instructions
For one sandwich, place two bread slices in front of you. Spread butter on one and cranberry sauce on the other.Next, top the buttered side with shredded chicken, followed by cheese, tomato slices, and lettuce.Then, place the cranberry side on top and put it in the Cuisinart Panini Press, Stainless Steel Griddler, Sandwich Maker & More, 5-IN-1, GR-4NP1 or sandwich press.Grill for 2 minutes, until nice and toasted. Then, remove, cut into half and serve.I served these with baked oven fries, but a side of salad or soup is perfect too.
