How to Make Balsamic Glazed Chicken Sandwiches With Goat Cheese
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon red wine, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- While the balsamic glaze simmers, spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
- Season two boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned.
- Remove chicken from skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove onions from skillet.
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts.
- Spread a thin layer of 2 ounces goat cheese (or cream cheese) on each roll.
- Divide the sliced chicken between the rolls and top with the caramelized onions.
- Drizzle each sandwich with the balsamic glaze and top with fresh arugula, if desired.
