100 Ways To Make The Most Laid Back Meal... "A Sandwich"
Are you like me? Always on the go? Only have time for a quick bite? Sandwiches are usually my meal of choice. Easy to make, unaggressive, friendly and goes with any beverage. Unfortunately I have made so many sandwiches lately, I can do them in my sleep (sometimes I do) only to be horrified during lunchtime at work that I have now made the same sandwich for two straight weeks.
If you can relate, don't despair, I have brought a few teasers to get you the week.
STUFFED SANDWICH TO GO
1 8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 c. finely chopped green onion
1/4 c. finely chopped walnuts
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 loaf unsliced French Vienna 12" x
5" bread
1/4 lb. fresh spinach
1/2 lb. Swiss cheese
1/2 c. alfalfa sprouts
Butter
3/4 lb. boiled ham, sliced thin
Heavy duty foil, enough to wrap loaf.
Stir together cream cheese, walnuts, green onion and garlic. Set aside. With seraded knife, slice top off the bread. Cut down around loaf edge about 1/2" from the side and bottom crust. With a fork pull out the interior bread. Butter the cavity and top slice, line the cavity with ham so that slice overlaps sides. Top with half the spinach then half the Swiss cheese. Spread cream cheese mixture over Swiss cheese layer. Top with alfalfa sprouts, the the remaining Swiss cheese and remaining spinach. Fold the ends of ham over spinach to cover top. Wrap bread in foil. Chill several hours. Slice and serve.

Press dough into 4 rectangles (7x4 inches). Place dough on ungreased cookie sheet. Press perforations to seal. In a bowl mix ham, pineapple, cheese and green pepper. Evenly divide mixture into rectangle; fold over to cover. Bake 13- 18 minutes or until golden. Serve with fruit salad or tossed salad or a cup of soup.

CHICKEN AND PEPPERS SANDWICHES
4 boneless chicken breast halves (1
lb.), skinned
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. dried whole basil
1 tsp. dried whole oregano

Mozzarella cheese

Trim excess fat from chicken breast halves. Place chicken between 2 sheets of wax paper, and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Place chicken breast halves in a shallow container. Combine lemon juice and next 6 ingredients, stirring well. Pour over chicken. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade. Arrange chicken on a grill coated with cooking spray. Grill 6 inches over hot coals 15 minutes, turning and basting with reserved marinade every 5 minutes. Remove chicken from grill, and sprinkle with cheese. Set chicken aside, and keep warm. Coat a medium skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium heat until hot. Add green pepper, sweet red pepper, and onion. Saute 2 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat.
