This Brazilian Sandwich or Bauru is a famous sandwich.Its Simple yet tasty.I tried making it In y cozy little home kitchen and we all loved it :).

Preparation time - Chicken marination min 1 hr to max 6 hrs,other preparation 10 min.(If you use ready made roasted/baked Chicken time can be curtailed)

Cooking Time - Melting the Mozzarella cheese by Bain Marie method or double boiler 10-15 min , baking Chicken 35 min (this time varies as per your oven ) and assembling sandwich 5 min.

Ingredients:-

1. Tempero Baiano Spice mix ( Ready made or Homemade ) check this link below for the homemade Tempero Baiano spice mix recipe :-

Homemade Tempero Baiano Spice Mix

2.  Chicken (I used  boneless thigh ) around 300 grams.
3. 1 fresh garlic crushed.
4. 1 tablespoon olive oil.
5. 1 teaspoon salt or to taste.
6. Mozzarella cheese .
7. 1 Pickled Cucumber
8. 1 French Baguette bread
9. 1 beefsteak Tomato

Cooking/ Baking:-

1. Marinate the chicken with Tempero Baiano spice mix,crushed garlic,olive oil and salt.
2. Bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 400 degree Fahrenheit that is approximately 200 degree Centigrade for 35 min flipping it mid way around after 15 min until properly baked .[NOTE This time may vary as per your oven ].
3. Melt the Mozzarella Cheese following the Bain Marie or double boiler method ( see Picture ). I heated water in an utensil and on top of the utensil I placed a heat proof strainer/colander and on it I put a heatproof bowl containing the Mozzarella Cheese for melting.So that the cheese melts from the steam generated by the heated water below and is not touching the water directly.[See the PICTURES below to get an idea ].
4. Cut the French Baguette bread and then scoop out some inner part(crumb).In the scooped out part fill the molten mozzarella and on the other part add the chopped tomato.pickled cucumber and the baked chicken.Simple but tasty Sandwich is ready for serving.

NOTE:-

1. Usually roasted Beef is used but I substituted it with baked chicken.
2. I love little spicy so I added more of my homemade Tempero Baiano made with dried herbs and spices to the Chicken marinate.Adjust it according to your taste.
