Le Grand Jerk Chicken & Ham Sandwich

Recently, I just chanced upon McDonald new burger release - Le Grand Beef Sandwich retail only in selected McDonalds restaurant (Lido Ground Floor & Bras Brasah). It is big Ciabatta bread sandwich serve with oversized beef patty top with mayo, onion, tomato slices and 2 slice of cheese. The sandwich didn't left much impression on me solely because it was serve cold despite it was freshly made by the McD's staff.

However, the sheer size of the Ciabatta did impress me and I decided to do a ala-home version of Le Grand Sandwich with the leftover ingredients (honey baked ham, sliced jamaican jerk chicken, mozzarella & hormel's chili) I had left from previous cooking expedition. Upon chance, I manage to find cheap Ciabatta (6 for $1.95) at Giant Megamart and I decide to go all out making my Le Grand Sandwich.

Le Grand Jerk Chicken & Ham Sandwich

• 1/2 Jamaican Jerk Chicken Thigh Sliced
• 2 slices of Honey Baked Ham
• 1 loaf of Ciabatta
• 3 Tablespoon of Hormel's Turkey Bean Chili
• Mozzarella Cheese or Cheddar Cheese Slice

There is no strict rule in making this sandwich and you are free to substitute with leftover ingredients like sausages, bacon, egg you conveniently find in your fridge. As for how to make Jamaican Jerk Chicken I will post the recipe at a later date. On to making the Le Grand Sandwich, slit the Ciabatta lengthwise and unfold it as you fliping open a book.


Add the sliced Jamaican Jerk Chicken slice first onto the Ciabatta and top it with 3 tablespoons of Hormmel's Turkey Bean Chili. Next slice Honey Baked Ham in the middle and lace it on top of the Chili. Then, top it with lot of mozzarella or cheddar cheese slice close the Ciabatta and grill it using Kenwood Griller or alternatively at the toaster oven for 5 minutes till the cheese melts and you have a nice tasty Le Grand Sandwich that even supersede the original.
