Ingredients

 Marinade Recipe Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or Italian salad dressing
  • 2 heaping tbsps of Orrington Farms Chicken Base
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp granulated garlic or garlic powder

For sandwiches:

  • Sauteed Onions, green peppers, mushrooms
  • Toasted Croissants
  • 2 Boneless and Skinless Breasts
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped dill

Ingredients for Cheese Sauce:

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    • Place two (2) boneless and skinless chicken breasts in a sealable bag.
    • Add 3 tablespoons of EVOO, 2 heaping tablespoons of Orrington Farms Chicken Base, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of granulated garlic or garlic powder.
    • Seal the bag, and use your hands to work the chicken to coat it with the marinade evenly.  Place the bag in a bowl in the fridge for fifteen (15) minutes.
    • Remove the chicken from the bag and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil brushed with a tablespoon of cooking oil.
    • Arrange the chicken on the pan and place it in the oven for 30 minutes; depending on the size of the breasts, check for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees.
    • Remove the chicken from the baking sheet and place it in a bowl.
    • Use two forks to shred the chicken breast, and drizzle any pan drippings over the shredded chicken.
    • Saute your sliced onions, green peppers, and mushrooms until tender.
    • Assemble your sandwiches by layering the shredded chicken on the bottom of a toasted croissant, add the sautéed vegetables, and cheese sauce, then the top of the croissant. 

    Directions for Cheese Sauce:

    • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the flour.
    • Whisk until the butter and flour are fully combined into rue.
    • Add the whole milk and continue until the milk is lump-free.
    • Adjust the heat to low.
    • Add the shredded mild cheddar cheese, and keep whisking until the cheese sauce is smooth.
    • Stir in the fresh chopped dill.
    • Serve warm.
