You know from all the turkey talk.

We realize Thanksgiving is in five minutes, but we could use a moment to think about other things besides bringing a turkey, what side to bring to Friendsgiving, and do we make a pumpkin or pecan pie. Ya, feel us?

Which is why we're excited to chat about today’s recipe. you are going to flip.

We're a firm believer that you need something convenient, lighter and savory to eat during the holiday season. A recipe that will make dinner time feel like a breeze. A recipe that boasts tons of flavor. A recipe that has great artisan taste. Let us introduce you to your new go-to recipe: Open-Faced Persian Chicken Sandwich with Pomegranate Honey.

This sandwich may sound like a mouthful, but we assure you it’s simple to put together. Toss chicken thighs with spices like turmeric and paprika. Roast the chicken thighs until juicy and slightly crispy. Ya, with us so far? Because this is where the sandwich becomes an 11/10 situation thanks to The Rustik Oven Artisan White Bread.

Take a slice of Artisan White bread and toast it. We love using bread from The Rustik Oven because the taste and texture is off the charts. It has the quality of artisan bread from a local bakery, but with a longer shelf life which makes for less stress when meal planning. Plus, what’s not to love about a slice of bread made without any artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives? Just simple, real ingredients.

Once you’ve got your sliced bread toasted start building your sandwich. We used a mixture of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes and set the sliced chicken thighs on top. Next, drizzle the entire sandwich with some pomegranate honey. GASP! This Open-Faced Persian Chicken Sandwich with Pomegranate Honey is worthy of a holiday break!
