GREEN GODDESS CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH
Steps:
- For the dressing: Puree the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, tarragon, garlic salt and scallions in a blender until very smooth. Set aside.
- For the sandwich: Add the dressing to a medium bowl with the chicken, celery and red onion. Mix until well combined. At this point you can make sandwiches or refrigerate until you are ready to serve. If you are serving sandwiches right away, place a scoop of chicken salad on top of a piece of bread. Top with the tomato slices and season with salt and pepper. Top with the cucumber slices, a mound of sprouts, the bacon and a second slice of bread. Repeat to make 3 more sandwiches. Serve immediately.
GREEN GODDESS ROASTED CHICKEN
Green Goddess dressing - a creamy, piquant blend of herbs, garlic and anchovies - is good to eat on salad. And it's wonderful as a dipping sauce for vegetables. But its best use may be as a marinade for roast chicken. The mild chicken absorbs all the zippy flavors of the dressing, to emerge from the oven fragrant and golden, flecked with green. To intensify the herbal flavor, some of the green goddess mixture is set aside to use as a sauce. You could even pour a little on a salad or some vegetables on the side, and enjoy the best of all the Green Goddess variations in one savory bite.

Steps:
- In a blender, purée buttermilk, basil, chives, garlic, anchovies (if using), scallion, lime zest and juice, salt and pepper until smooth.
- Put chicken halves in a bowl or large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and cover with three-quarters of the Green Goddess marinade. (Save the rest to serve as a sauce.) Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- Heat oven to 500 degrees. Remove chicken from the marinade, shaking off as much liquid as possible, and lay the halves on a rimmed baking sheet. (Discard the used marinade.) Pat chicken tops dry with paper towels and drizzle with oil. Roast until cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving, with some of the reserved sauce if you like.

Tips:
- To achieve perfectly cooked chicken breasts, use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the grill.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken breasts in a grill pan over medium heat or bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Feel free to customize your BLT by adding or removing ingredients based on your preferences. For example, you could add sliced avocado, hard-boiled eggs, or even crumbled blue cheese.
- Make sure to use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If you don't have ripe tomatoes, you can use sun-dried tomatoes or even roasted tomatoes.
- The Green Goddess sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes besides BLTs. Try it on sandwiches, wraps, salads, or even as a dip for vegetables.
Conclusion:
The grilled chicken BLT with Green Goddess sauce is a delicious and satisfying sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. With its juicy chicken, crispy bacon, ripe tomatoes, and creamy sauce, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
