Kick dinner up a notch with Salsa Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with french-fried onions (plus it’s a great way to use up leftover chicken).
I have a secret to share with you, and it’s been eating me up inside not to share. You know how I’m always talking about making my cakes and cookies from scratch? Truth is I kinda cheat on dinner. I mean, it happens right? You are too tired to cook. You don’t have time to cook. You forgot to thaw the meat. You don’t even know what you’re eating today. Can we still be friends? Because friends share their super delicious, super quick, and super easy grilled cheese sandwich recipes with each other, like this Salsa Chicken Grilled Cheese with french-fried onions. The name may sound very basic, but oh it is far from it.
One of my favorite dinner shortcut ingredients is salsa. A long, long time ago (I don’t think I even graduated high school yet!), I saw a recipe in a magazine where you toss salsa with tortellini for a quick dinner. That is genius and a lifesaver right there. In fact, I still make it today (although my choice of pasta may change). I did go through a little stage where almost *everything* had to be made from scratch, but then reality set in. I’m (slowly) learning that it’s ok to use store-bought ingredients if time is a factor. Like the other day, I bought a fresh loaf of bread from an Italian grocery store because I knew I couldn’t bake fresh bread for dinner that night (and it was the best fresh loaf of bread I had in a long time). Another store-bought ingredient that tastes as fresh as homemade is Sabra Salsa. It’s the salsa I used for these grilled cheese sandwiches. And since Sabra has 8 different varieties, you can make this grilled cheese 8 different ways.
