How to Make a Chicken Melt on the Griddle with Salsa Verde 🐓 . I love a good sandwich on the griddle, and paired with this salsa verde this melt is one of my favorites to do. Best part about this one is you’ll have enough salsa to use for several meals! Here’s how I made it: Ingredients: • 1 ½ - 2 lbs. tomatillos, halved • 1 white onion, halved • 2 jalapenos, halved • 3-4 garlic cloves, whole • 1 tomato, halved • 1 bunch cilantro • 1 avocado • 4 T crema Mexicana • 1 C water • Salt to taste • ¼ lbs. shredded chicken, cooked • 4 slices American cheese • ¼ C arugula • ¼ C pickled onions • Cheesy onion asiago bread, as needed • Tortillas as needed For the Salsa Verde: 1. Preheat a griddle or cooking surface to high heat. Once the griddle is hot, add the tomatillos and next 4 ingredients. Allow the vegetables to sear on both sides, flipping as needed. Once a nice char has developed, remove them and turn off the heat source. 2. Add the charred vegetables to a food processor with the cilantro, avocado, half of the crema Mexicana, water, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding salt to taste. **Note: this recipe makes enough salsa to use for several meals or to enjoy with tortilla chips! For the Chicken Melt: 1. Reduce the griddle temperature to medium heat setting. Meanwhile, mix the remaining crema Mexicana with equal parts of the prepared salsa until well combined. Slather a slice of bread with the mixture, then top with cheese, arugula, pickled onions, chicken, and more cheese before adding the top piece of bread. 2. Place the sandwich on the griddle. Allow it to cook until golden brown on both sides and the cheese has melted, flipping as needed. 3. Once this occurs, remove the sandwich from the griddle. Serve it up with the creamy salsa verde and enjoy! 🔥All made on my @charbroilgrills griddle!🔥 #ChickenMelt #SalsaVerde #GriddleCooking #FlavorPacked #CrispyEdges #FireUpTheGriddle #MeltyGoodness #BoldFlavors #EasyGriddleRecipes #HandheldEats #shorts
