Grilled Cheese and Chicken Sandwich & Apple Salad

I am a huge consumer of grilled cheese sandwiches. ok? That said, I always make variations to the basic grilled cheese recipe, and this time I had some roast chicken left over. The lightbulb went off in my head to make this a Grilled Chicken and Cheese sandwich recipe. Not much rocket science here, but it tastes great.

Grilled Cheese yum.

cast iron or a thick bottomed pan work best for this, i think.

I like to use Cabot Sharp Cheddar, as its owned by a dairy cooperative, you could be decadent here and drop in some blue cheese as well.

flipping a large grilled cheese sandwich can be tricky. careful.

I usually use olive oil in the pan, and swirl the bread around in the small pool of olive oil. Or you can get one of those Misto oil sprayers, which is more economical with the use of oil. I like my grilled cheese grilled well, as you can see.

use what you've got to make a salad, i do.

I’m all about simple salad. I kinda don’t get most salad recipes, I just use what I have in the fridge. I had some Macoun apples, so i sliced them up and in they go. Apples taste great with cheese, so blue cheese or goat cheese would be great here.

So there you go, a great lunch that probably cost $2 sandwich. Do you have a fun simple lunch, or your version of grilled cheese? Let us know below in the comments:
