    Chicken Melts - Quick and Easy Meal in 10 Minutes or Less

    Do you ever have evening activities that require you to throw dinner on the table in a few minutes? We do.

    Both Joe and I work full-time jobs, and the girls have Girl Scouts and church and piano lessons in the evenings. 

    That leaves us about five minutes to get supper into their bellies some days. It's not ideal, but it's our life during this season (which is lasting much longer than I would like).

    We recently discovered an amazing new solution for quick and easy healthy dinners - Sandwich Bros. flatbread pocket sandwiches. (They're not gluten-free.) They are frozen (read: super fast to prepare), and they will help you avoid take out which is good for your wallet and your health.

     

    This is a new brand, so you will have to use the store locator at the link above to see where to buy them locally. We tried the chicken melts and are looking forward to the others as well. I'm especially interested in the gyro flavor since that is something that I love but we have never figured out how to make from scratch.

    Quick and Easy Dinner in Under 10 Minutes

    1. Make the dip. Two of my favorite recipes are below. I thought they both went well with the chicken melts, although I wouldn't make them at the same time again. I would stick with one of them at a time. 
      Make the dips the night before. Neither one takes long to make, but if you are in a hurry to get dinner and avoid the takeout line, you won't have time to make them at supper time.
    2. Start with the protein. Sandwich Bros pocket sandwiches cook in about 70 seconds for 2 pockets, so you can easily have 4 or even 6 of them done in under 5 minutes. I usually make 2 pockets for myself and Joe and 1 for each of the girls.
    3. Add a side dish. If you're going for healthy (which we usually are), I would go for a can of no sugar added mandarin oranges or peaches or a dish of no sugar added applesauce.

    Sandwich Bros flatbread pocket sandwiches are frozen separately - the pocket, the meat, and the cheese are separate pieces. So you can easily heat the sandwich and then add fillings to the sandwich like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, or the dips below (as a spread) and then reassemble the sandwich.

    Cook Time 15 mins
    Total Time 15 mins
    Course Condiment, Gluten-free

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cups water divided
    • 1 cups rice vinegar
    • ⅔ cups sugar
    • 2 teaspoons ginger
    • 2 cloves garlic or use 2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoons ketchup
    • ¼ cups sambal oelek or use 2-3 whole red chile peppers, minced
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

    Instructions
     

    • Pour ¾ cup water and all of the vinegar into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. (Remaining water will be used later to mix with the cornstarch.) Stir in sugar, ginger, garlic, and ketchup; simmer for 5 minutes.
    • Stir sambal oelek or chili peppers into the sauce.
    • Mix cornstarch and remaining ¼ cup water until they form a slurry. Add this to the saucepan a little at a time until the sauce is the thickness you desire. (We use all of it so that the finished sauce is like a dip, but if you want a sauce you can pour, you would use less.) Stir until blended.
    • Pour sauce into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until needed, at least an hour.

    Notes

    We used sambal oelek for this dish. It is an Asian staple made from ground red chili peppers in a vinegar sauce. We have grown to love it ever since using it in a General Tso's Chicken recipe last year. I think it's the perfect pepper source for this sauce. I have heard that you can find this at some bigger grocery stores and at Asian groceries, but we just buy ours on Amazon. It's not too expensive and very easy to find without driving around.

    Sandwich Bros. Flatbread Pocket Sandwiches

    quick-and-easy-weeknight-dinners-healthy

    Sandwich Bros. makes a whole bunch of varieties:

    • Chicken melts (liked these best with the sweet chili sauce)
    • Angus cheeseburger (would be so good with my zesty sauce above)
    • Gyro sliders (would make tzatziki sauce to go with these)
    • Pizza burger
    • Italian sausage

    Like I said above, I can't wait to find these in other grocery stores and pick up more varieties. They are so good, and they are perfect for our busy schedule. I can totally see us planning these into our busy nights at least once a week.

    Connect with Sandwich Bros. on Facebook.

        I'm not sure. The package might give oven instructions, but you would have to check.
