Ooey Gooey Spicy chicken sandwich with a twist
Led by Chef Nathaniel Zimet, the team at Boucherie took home the prize for Best Poboy in the Poultry Category at the 2018 Poboy Festival. The sandwich was named after Kelsey Green, a chef that worked with Nathanial in the kitchen back in 2018. “Kelsey has a love affair with cheese,” Zimet said, “and there’s nothing better than an ooey gooey sandwich. I love spice and adding the charred broccoli rabe really helps round the flavors.” I will admit to some skepticism with this recipe. The ingredients are disparate and the whole thing just seemed weird but in the end the flavors harmonize incredibly well to form an explosion of exciting taste and textures.

Don’t feel like making Candied jalapeños? Ragin’ Cajun brand makes a good substitute, available at Rouses Markets. Trader Joe’s also makes a house brand of Hot & Sweet Jalapeños, also good. Looking to shortcut that Alabama White Barbecue Sauce? Duke’s brand makes a good substitute, available at Rouses Market.

Rapini and broccoli rabe are the same thing. I found it at Whole Foods. Mustard greens are a good substitute.
3 Chihuahua cheese is available at Hispanic markets, such as Ideal Market or in the Hispanic cheese section at Walmart. Shredded mozzarella is an acceptable substitute.
