Chicken Paleo “Sandwich”

By jennKI

I had some left over Spice Rub Slow Cooked Chicken so I made myself a sandwich out of the leftovers for lunch today. No, I’m not kidding, and no I haven’t fallen straight off the paleo wagon back to my old Subway days, but yes – I made a big ol’ sandwich and shared it with my almost 3 year old (he’s getting so darn big!!) who kept slapping his leg and falling backwards saying, “Mom, this is soooooo good!!” Oh, and one should note that the left over spice rub chicken that I used also has onions involved that carmelize while they cook at the bottom of the slow cooker so adding these to the sandwich made it extra delicious.

Ingredients

• 2 giant portobello mushrooms, stems and gills (underside of the cap) removed
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
• 1/4 cup grilled onions
• 3 slices bacon
• 1 cup fresh arugula
• 2 tbsp Paleo Mayo
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet heat the olive oil and add the mushrooms, starting with the caps up.

Cook on each side for about 5 minutes, until the mushroom softens and starts to turn golden on top.

Remove the mushrooms from the pan and slather each side with the paleo mayo, pile on the chicken, onions, bacon and arugula, put the two mushrooms together like a sandwich and dig in.

Of course the possibilities are endless with this sandwich idea – my next one will probably be turkey, avocado, and cucumber!! Get creative and as usual:

Enjoy!!
