Chicken

  1. To prepare chicken, season breasts with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill over medium high heat until done, about 6-8 minutes. Let rest before carving into 1/2 in thick slices.

Aioli

  1. To prepare aioli, combine the egg yolk, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a medium measuring cup or tall glass.
  2. Using a hand held stick blender, gradually blend in oil in a slow stream. Buzz in the garlic, and hot sauce if using. Season with more salt and lemon juice, if necessary.

Sandwich

  1. To assemble sandwich, turn broiler on. Toast bread until light golden; rub each slice with cut side of garlic clove and season with salt. Spread aioli generously on each slice.
  2. Top each slice with chicken, walnuts and figs. Place brie on top and broil until cheese melts. Remove from oven and place on serving plates.
  3. Place a loose handful of arugula on top of melted cheese. Dress lightly with olive oil, honey if using, salt and pepper.
  4. Makes 4 open-faced sandwiches.

  2. Arrange on baking tray and bake, turning over occasionally until cooked through and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  3. Toss with green onions and bake another minute. Squeeze lime juice over and season with salt and pepper to taste.
