SANTA FE CHICKEN HERO

Serves 4-5

Thin-sliced roaster breast couldn't be easier or faster to grill for this hearty update of the submarine/hoagy/hero sandwich. This is a complete Tex-Mex meal in one.

1 roaster thin-sliced boneless breast (1 1/4 pounds) or 4 skinless, boneless, chicken breast halves butterflied

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Salt and ground pepper to taste

Cayenne

Chili powder

5 to 6 thin slices Monterey Jack cheese with chilies

5 to 6 slices French or Italian bread

2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine

5 to 6 leaves Romaine lettuce

1 tomato, thinly sliced

1 avocado, peeled, pitted, sliced and tossed with lemon juice

1/2 cup prepared salsa

Rub chicken lightly with oil and season with salt, pepper, Cayenne and chili powder. Grill, 5 to 6-inches above medium-hot coals about 2 minutes on each side. Top chicken with slices of cheese; grill 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Brush bread with melted butter; grill alongside chicken 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. To serve, place a lettuce leaf on each toasted bread slice. Evenly divide chicken, slices of tomato and avocado on top. Serve sandwiches open-faced with salsa.
