Honey-Chicken Sandwiches

Start to Finish: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
12 ounces thinly sliced cooked chicken, halved crosswise
4 purchased croissants, halved horizontally and toasted

Directions:
1. In a medium skillet combine honey, thyme, and red onion. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until warm (do not boil). Stir in chicken; heat through. Serve in croissants.

Servings: 4

Notes: The honey made this a sweet sandwhich, which tasted delicious. The onions were not overpowering and the chicken was very tender. Yummy!

Variations: I broiled and shredded chicken instead of using thinly sliced chicken. Also, I do not like red onions so I used yellow onions. Also, I actually am not fond of the texture of onions, but can handle chopped onions so I chopped the yellow onions instead of thinly slicing them.

Estimated Price: $5.00*
*If you make your own croissants, which I did. Otherwise, a 4 pack of croissants will cost you $3.49, unless you get them on a day old shelf at the bakery. So, then the cost would be around $8.50.
