Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 (6 to 8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 2 ciabbata rolls, halved lengthwise and toasted
- 1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1 medium head Belgian Endive, TK, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 medium gala, braeburn, or pink lady apple, cored, halved and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and use a frying pan to gently pound the breasts to an even thickness. (They should be about 1 inch thick.)
- Combine flour, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a wide, shallow dish and mix thoroughly. Coat each breast by dredging it in the flour mixture then shaking off excess flour. Wrap one piece of bacon around each piece of chicken and secure with a toothpick.
- Heat oil in a medium, heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add chicken breasts and cook until bacon is well browned, about 5 minutes per side.
- Add the juice, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until cider is reduced by 1/3, and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and remove toothpicks.
- To make a sandwich, spread mustard evenly on cut sides of bread. Layer half of each endive and apple slices alternately on one piece of bread, top with a chicken breast, drizzle with pan juices, season with freshly ground black pepper, and close sandwich. Repeat to make a second sandwich.

Reviews
My husband is a SUPER picky eater so I had to substitute and do things a bit differently but the apple juice with meat I really liked. The chicken turned out sooo juicy and the honey mustard he would usually refuse to eat but I snuck in was great addition. I’ll make it again.
Sounds good
Really good- I did not have the endive and used honey mustard. Cut apples into shoestring size. Not necessarily a kid meal, however..
wow this looks really good!
i guess it was good you could of not of put dog…..in it
I loved it!
I took selkins advice and did the cole slaw as well …simple and really good
I made this for my family and paired it with Tyler Florence’s Ultimate Cole Slaw and Guy Fieri’s double fried french fries and it was perfect! I didn’t change a thing on any recipe other than offer honey mustard and country dijon mustard. Slice apples paper thin and there is no problem. Love it!
My family raved about this recipe. I didn’t have apple juice (or apples) so I used red wine and sauted mushrooms. So delicious! Definitely a keeper.
Had 6 chicken breasts thawed no clue what to do. Made this sandwich and knocked our socks off!!!!! Cooked on an electric griddle, just added the apple juice VERY SLOWLY, also used thick cut goose bacon and it was phenomenal!!!
