Chicken and Brie Sandwich with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Contributed by Rachel and Brendan

This is one of the BEST sandwiches we’ve ever made. We like to cook the chicken breast on the grill for a little extra flavor. From Cooking Light.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes (~1 lb)
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp whole-grain Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 (16 oz) loaf French bread, cut in half horizontally
  • 3 oz Brie cheese, sliced
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (~1 lb)
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat 1 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, cook 4 minutes, stirring once. Remove from heat, stir in 2 Tbsp vinegar. Sprinkle tomatoes with thyme, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper. Wrap handle of pan with foil, bake at 300 degrees for 15 minutes. Keep warm.

Combine mayonnaise, mustard, and garlic in a small bowl. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly over top half of bread loaf. Spoon tomatoes evenly over bottom half of loaf. Arrange Brie over tomatoes, top with chicken. Combine 2 tsp oil, 1 tsp vinegar, and 1/8 tsp salt in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add spinach, tossing gently to coat. Top chicken with spinach mixture, replace top half of bread. Cut loaf into 6 pieces.
