Chicken BLT and Pimento Cheese Recipe

direction

• 1. step 1Preheat oven to 375°. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and place a rack on top. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on a rack and cook until browned and crispy on both sides, about 20 minutes.
  2. step 2In a large bowl, combine pimiento liquid, olive oil, 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add chicken and toss. Let it marinate while you make the pimiento cheese.
  3. step 3Combine cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack, and cream cheese in a large bowl and mix until there are no lumps of cream cheese. Add mayonnaise, remaining 2 teaspoons adobo sauce, mustard, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and diced pimientos. Stir to combine.
  4. step FourRemove the chicken from the marinade and sear until marked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  5. step FiveTo assemble: Spread pimiento cheese on half of the bread and mayonnaise on the other half. Add 1-2 tomato slices and 2 bacon slices to each pimiento-dusted bread slice, folding the bacon over to combine. Add a handful of lettuce and 1 chicken cutlet to each mayonnaise-dusted slice. Sandwich the slices together. Enjoy with potato chips.
