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
Instructions
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
