Ingredients4 ACE Bakery® Sesame Gourmet Burger Buns1 free-range egg yolk1 tsp. Dijon mustard1 tsp. sea salt1 tsp. lemon zest1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice¾ cup vegetable oil2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives1 tbsp. chopped fresh dill1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil1 clove garlic, peeled and mincedPinch chili flakes2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme2 7 oz free-range organic, skinless, boneless chicken breasts½ tsp. sea salt¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper½ red onion, very thinly sliced1 large heirloom tomato, sliced1 cup baby Swiss chard.
InstructionsPlace the egg yolk, mustard, salt, lemon zest and juice in the bowl of a food processor and mix to combine well. With the machine still running, slowly drizzle in the oil, a very few drops at a time, allowing the mixture to gradually thicken and emulsify. Spoon the aioli into a small bowl and stir in the fresh herbs. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, chili and thyme. Add the chicken breasts, tossing to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.Heat a skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, place the chicken breasts, smooth-side-down, in the pan. Cook for 6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for 3 or 4 minutes on the other side, or until juices run clear. Remove the pan from the heat and let the chicken breasts rest in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing into ¼ inch (.64 cm) thick slices.Lightly toast the ACE Bakery® Burger Buns. To assemble the sandwiches, generously slather the buns with Herb and Lemon Aioli and layer with slices of chicken, onion, tomato and baby Swiss chard.
