Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 round flat focaccia bread (I used the sea salt focaccia from Panera, it's about 6 inches in diameter)
6-8 slices deli ham, (I used Boar's Head, lower sodium ham)
6-8 slices deli chicken breast, (I used Boar's Head Everroast Chicken)
6-8 slices Swiss cheese
German mustard (I used Aldi brand of mild German mustard with herbs, it looks and tastes similar to French's regular mustard)
chipotle mayonnaise
zesty, bread and butter pickle slices
oil, for brushing on bread to grill

Steps:

  • 1. Cut focaccia bread into 2 rounds.
  • 2. Spread cut side of round bread bottom with chipotle mayonnaise.
  • 3. Layer sliced chicken breast over mayonnaise.
  • 4. Layer sliced ham over chicken breast.
  • 5. Layer Swiss cheese over ham.
  • 6. Layer bread and butter pickles over Swiss cheese.
  • 7. On cut side of round bread top, spread mustard and place on top of the bread and butter pickles.
  • 8. Brush top of focaccia bread with oil.
  • 9. Place oiled side down onto hot grill pan.
  • 10. Top sandwich with heavy pan or skillet and press down. I used a cast iron skillet. Grill until golden brown and crispy.
  • 11. Before turning, brush the bread with oil and turn, grill weighing down again with heavy pan or skillet, until golden and crispy and cheese is melted. If you have a panini press or George Foreman grill they can also be used.
  • 12. Cut in quarters and serve with your favorite side.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe (used turkey instead of pork and provolone instead of Swiss cheese) and it was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of Cuban sandwiches, but I thought this one was pretty good. The pork was tender and juicy, and the bread was nice and crispy.
