Dethroning Burger King

A recent visit to the Cheesecake Factory inspired me to make this meal. While leaving the restaurant my b.f.f. Jamie and I saw a waiter walk by with what looked like a super sized, gourmet, "Italian Chicken Sandwich." You know, just like we used to get at Burger King. Mmmmm, those were our favorite. Every now and again I still crave that breaded patty of processed chicken parts with an undersized slice of what I hoped was real mozzarella, toped with not quite a dollop of marinara sauce and a warm wilted piece of iceberg lettuce, slapped on a stale bun. They really were scrumptious, I swear! We were tempted to turn around and sit back down for a second meal. Time, money and full bellies did not allow. So I came home determined to make my very own Non-Burger King, and non-Cheesecake Factory, Gourmet Italian Chicken Sandwich. Peyton was thrilled to help make faux fast food. The whole family was thrilled to eat it (even though there was no side of fries and soda.) We used local and/or organic ingredients.

There you have it. We dethroned the King.
