Italico™ Chicken Sandwich

1 boneless chicken breast, browned and cubed

1/2 cup fresh spinach

1/2 cup roasted tomatoes, chopped

Olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

Dash crushed red pepper

2 oz. BelGioioso Italico™, shredded

1/8 cup half and half or cream

Sandwich roll

Brown chicken breast until cooked through, remove from heat and cut into bite-size cubes. Sauté the chopped garlic in olive oil until almost brown. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted. Add the chopped roasted tomatoes and crushed red pepper and sauté until heated through.

In a separate pan, heat chicken and shredded BelGioioso Italico™ with an 1/8 cup of cream until cheese makes a sauce when melted. Stir in tomato-spinach mixture and serve chicken mixture inside a sandwich roll.
