Chicken Philly Cheese & Strawberry Lime Margarita

I love Philly cheese steak sandwiches. I got hooked when we lived in San Jose and went to "The Cheese Steak Shop". I didn't have onions or green peppers on hand so I had to just omit them this time. They still tasted yummy.

I took 3 chicken breasts, one was huge so I cut it in half. I put some rub on them. I couldn't really taste too much of the flavors, but  that is probably because it only sat on the chicken for about 20 minutes before I threw them on the bbq. I put soy sauce, 1 spray of Italian dressing on each, brown sugar and some spice blend, salt and pepper.

Then I let them bbq for about 10 minutes on each side. I probably over cook my chicken, but I really don't want samonella. I have had so many friends invite me over for dinner and the chicken was raw.

 

Then I let the chicken rest for 5 minutes so all the juices could flow back through the chicken. Then I sliced the chicken against the grain. It really does make a huge difference cutting the meat right. If it's hard to cut try cutting it at a different angle and see if you notice the ease. 

I used 100% whole wheat hot dog buns, chipotle bbq sauce and some thai chili paste as my special sauce. Slabbed it on the buns, then added the chicken so the bun was full and topped it off with some Kraft American jalapeno cheese. Popped them in the over at 400 degrees for 12 min. The cheese was melted nicely and the bun was crispy too.

I just used the Jose Cuervo margarita mix and mixed it with ice in my blender. I used margarita salt to line the rim of the glass. It was wonderful! ~Misty
