Garlic Chicken Sandwich with Jicama Slaw

from Mud Pie Gourmet

Chicken:
(Serves 4)
2 chicken breasts cut in half

2 cloves garlic, minced
3 T lime juice
1 T olive oil 
1/8 tsp cumin
Kosher salt and ground pepper

Combine all ingredients in a ziplock bag and marinate for at least 30 minutes. 
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat (or use a grill).  Saute chicken for about 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.  Remove from heat. 

Jicama Slaw:

3/4 cup jicama, julienned
1 T finely chopped onion
1 T chopped cilantro
1 tsp lime juice
1/8 tsp cumin
2 T plain yogurt
1/2 tsp minced jalapeno or serrano pepper
Kosher salt and ground pepper

Combine ingredients. 

Toppings: 
Tomato
Avocado
Pepper Jack Cheese (I used baby Swiss)
Whatever else you love!

Place chicken on good bread. Top with sliced tomatoes, avocados, Pepper Jack cheese and jicama slaw.


*This makes an excellent sandwich!  Jeff and Jacob couldn't get enough--but they didn't add the jicama slaw.  I ended up eating all the jicama slaw myself (no complaints on my part!), but this sandwich can stand alone without the slaw and still be considered superb.
