Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Once done, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cuban Bread

    Slice the Cuban bread into halves if not already done. This will create a top and bottom for the sandwich.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the Cuban bread, layer the sliced grilled chicken evenly. Top with the sautéed vegetables, then add the smoked gouda cheese on top.

  2. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Close the sandwich with the top half of the Cuban bread. Place the sandwich back on the grill or in a panini press for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the grill and let it cool for a minute. Slice it in half and serve warm.
