Nothing screams midweek, go-to meal more than a grilled cheese sandwich. But this recipe takes it up a notch by adding protein and an extra punch of flavor with golden raisins and Monterey jack cheese. Slivered almonds and chopped celery pack in a bold crunch with each bite. If your kids are more particular eaters, you can always leave out any of the add-ons and stick to the good old cheesy chicken sandwich that everyone is sure to love.
Ingredients
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/3 cup golden raisins (optional)
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted (Optional)
1/4 cup diced celery
1/2 cup mayonnaise
12 (3/4-ounce) Monterey Jack cheese slices
12 whole wheat bread slices
1/4 cup butter or margarine,softened
Preparation
Stir together first 5 ingredients. Place 1 cheese slice on each of 6 bread slices; spread evenly with chicken mixture, and top with remaining cheese and bread slices. Spread half of butter evenly on 1 side of each sandwich.
Cook sandwiches, buttered side down, in a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat about 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread remaining butter evenly on ungrilled sides; turn and cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned.
