BALSAMIC SOY CHICKEN SANDWICH
Simple seasoning sometimes leads to complex flavor achievements. This is the case here! Easy to make. Delight soy delights again!
Makes 6 -8 subs or sandwiches
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 lb. white button mushrooms, washed well and sliced
1 t. pink Himalayan salt
3-4 med. size yellow onions (the ones sold in netted bags) – cut off ends, cut in half from end to end, peel, then cut into 1/4 inch wide half rings
1 lb. Delight Soy Chicken Popcorn Nuggets, thawed; cut each nugget into 4 slices
1 t. pink Himalayan salt
fresh grind black pepper
1 t. ground poultry seasoning
1/4 c. Balsamic vinegar
In extra-large skillet, over medium-high heat, melt olive oil.
Add mushrooms and salt, stir to coat, then saute till partially wilted.
Add onion, stir to disperse, then saute till partially wilted.
Add soy chicken strips, salt, black pepper and poultry seasoning. Stir to disperse, then saute till heated through.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour Balsamic vinegar over chicken, stir to coat. Saute, stirring occasionally till most of liquid has evaporated and/or been absorbed.
Remove from heat. Salt and pepper to taste.
When ready to use, reheat to very hot.
Notes: This is my Italian Barbecue minus the tomato and garlic. The vinegar flavor presents as mellow. Notice I left out the garlic. I decided to go simple – not everybody likes added garlic.
