Description

Indulge in the flavors of a Cuban-inspired sandwich with tender grilled mojo chicken, Swiss cheese, deli ham, and pickles, all pressed between buttery, crispy bread. This recipe brings a taste of Cuban-American fusion to your table.


Ingredients

Marinated Chicken:

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sandwich Assembly:

  • 4 Cuban sandwich rolls or hoagie rolls
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 8 slices deli ham
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
  • Butter for grilling

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Combine orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Marinate chicken for at least 1 hour. Grill until cooked through.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Layer grilled chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and pickles on rolls. Butter the outside and grill until crispy and cheese melts.

Notes

  • Cuban bread is traditional but hoagie rolls or ciabatta can be used.
  • For extra flavor, brush bread with leftover marinade before grilling.
