Roasted Chicken, Zucchini, and Ricotta Sandwiches on Focaccia
You can never have too many Mediterranean recipes, so give Roasted Chicken, Zucchini, and Ricott From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 45 minutes. A mixture of purchased roasted chicken breasts, zucchini, parmesan cheese, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious.
Instructions
Mix zucchini and salt in medium bowl.
Transfer to colander; set over bowl.
Let stand 15 minutes to drain liquid from zucchini. Rinse and drain zucchini. Squeeze zucchini to remove liquid.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat.
Add zucchini and sauté 2 minutes. Cool slightly.
Add ricotta, Parmesan and lemon peel to zucchini. Stir to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
Preheat broiler. Arrange focaccia pieces cut side up on baking sheet. Broil focaccia just until lightly toasted.
Spread ricotta mixture generously over 8 focaccia pieces. Broil until ricotta mixture is heated through and beginning to brown in spots, about 4 minutes.
Top 4 focaccia pieces with tomato slices, then with chicken slices, dividing equally.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with remaining 4 focaccia pieces, ricotta-mixture side down.
Cut sandwiches diagonally in half and serve.
