Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duxelle

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the chicken is cooked, place it on a brioche roll. Top each piece of chicken with a generous amount of mushroom duxelle, fresh spinach, and a slice of fontina cheese. Close the sandwich with the other half of the brioche roll.

  4. 4

    Serve

    You can serve the grilled chicken sandwich with garlic aioli on the side for dipping or drizzling.
