Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #72 | Not Cookies? Santa’s Secret Gift!
Merry Christmas my Steemit Sandwich Elves!
Here we are, week 72 of @jaybirds Steemit Sandwich Contest! Wow, 2018 is coming to an end of amazing sandwich creations! I want to share a big thanks to @jaybird for his joyous spirit during this holiday season! He always brings such energy and enthusiasm to the dinner table! Thanks @jaybird! Also a huge thanks to @llfarms for supporting this endeavor! We are all so appreciative!
Christmas is almost upon us!
Whether you celebrate the traditional Christmas or other holiday traditions, gift giving is often a part of our celebrations. As I prepared to spend time with my family and busily worked on our homespun Christmas I didn’t want to forget about @jaybirds Steemit Sandwich Contest!
Everyone should receive a gift right? And we all like to eat great sandwiches so let the celebrations begin!

The Bird!
I was able to sneak a bit of Mr. Birds Maker’s Mark for my marinade (told him this was a very special occasion) Mix this with Maple Syrup, Tamari and Sriracha Sauce to make an amazing marinade for the chicken. Marinade for a couple of hours or if you have time, overnight! The chicken will be amazing!
Grill the chicken breasts! While they’re grilling we’ll make a wonderful nutty Cranberry sauce for the chicken.
Cranberry Cheer!
Mix the cranberries with a couple tablespoons of water and Maple Syrup. Let this simmer until the sauce thickens. Add chopped walnuts and mix. I think the chicken is ready!
Wrap the Gift!
Layer the Phyllo Dough brushing each layer lightly with Oil. I used 4 leaves for each package. Center the chicken breast on the dough, top with Cranberry sauce and sprinkle Goat Cheese liberally! I know @jaybird, you love that Goat Cheese too!
I wrapped each package and place them neatly on a parchment lined baking sheet. We don’t want our gift packages to burn! Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
The gift is ready, all ready to be delivered! Maybe not cookies, but a little Chocolate?
Merry Christmas to you all!
Remember, No Peeking !
Thanks for stopping by the Bird nest today, I hope you all have a safe and Happy Holiday Season!
And as always, blessings to you all!
Wow just wow, love this sandwich @birdsinparadise, you've really outdone yourself with this one, gorgeous sandwich parcels!!! Sure that marinade made the chicken extra special!
You know how it is when you experiment right? These did turn out well (at least they were gone pretty fast, lol) Thank @lizelle, I'm anxious to see what you cooked up today! I consider it a true compliment from you, you're a great inspiration :)

Holy mike that looks good! I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'm slobbering.
It just so happens that I have a chicken breast that was sorta scheduled for pizza later today. And I've got some nicely dessicated dried cranberries that used to be snack material for me in my not so low carb days. Hmmmmmmm.
I need to tell you. I tried the 'sausage meatballs' trick and it worked to perfection! I am really excited about the possibilities. Thank you, Thank you.
Yay, new recipes are so fun. This was one of those "seat of the pants" lets try it ideas...luckily it turned out well. They certainly didn't last too long. Love the phyllo dough too, it is a fun option. Thank @bigtom13, appreciate your kind words. Have a Merry Christmas my friend! Enjoy those cranberries....they're so tart and tasty! :)
Nice One! Done with THE bourbon... I'd loved to get this for a present!
Thanks @mondoshawan, what a kind compliment...needless to say, I was pretty lucky to sneak that away from Mr Bird....although he loved the result! :)
This looks soooo delicious! I love cranberry/chicken or turkey sandwiches! Lucky Santa!
Thank you so much! It turned out great, they were gone in no time ;) So glad you stopped by @goldenoakfarm! Merry Christmas!
WHo wouldnt love these when presented so beautifully and the ingredients make me think they must taste so good
Thank you @tatoodjay! Needless to say, they didn't stay around too long! Glad you liked the post, thanks for stopping in!
