Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Mojo marinade
Sandwich Fillings and Bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 slices ham
- 8 slices pickles
- 4 sandwich rolls
- Mustard, to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a bowl or resealable plastic bag with 1 cup of Mojo marinade. Ensure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors infuse.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill it until fully cooked and juices run clear, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Assemble the sandwiches: On each sandwich roll, layer Swiss cheese, ham slices, pickles, the grilled chicken breast, and a spread of mustard to your liking.
- Press the sandwiches: Heat a panini press or sandwich grill. Place the assembled sandwiches inside and press until the bread is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese has melted completely, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the sandwiches from the press, slice in half if desired, and serve hot for a delicious, satisfying meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use homemade Mojo marinade made with citrus juices, garlic, and spices.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken breasts on a stovetop grill pan or bake them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.
- Substitute sandwich rolls with Cuban bread for a more authentic experience.
- Adjust mustard quantity according to your taste preference.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to avoid any food safety issues.
