While I was in NYC for Blogher I was asked to participate in the Hillshire Farms Sandwich Showdown and I had the best time!  I love cooking competition shows and have always wanted to do something like that and this was my chance.

The showdown consisted of several rounds in which we had 2 minutes to create a sandwich with Hillshire Farm Deli Select lunch meats and then we were judged by some pretty tough kids and Padma Lakshmi from Top Chef.

The recipe that got me through the first round was a version of one of our favorite hot sandwiches we call the BBQ Chicken/Ham Sandwich

Ingredients

• Kaiser Roll
• Hillshire Farm Deli Select Oven Roasted Chicken Breast
• Hillshire Farm Deli Select Baked Ham
• Colby Jack Cheese
• BBQ Sauce
• Red Onion

Spread the BBQ sauce on both sides of the roll, then layer the ham, the cheese, the chicken and then the onions and enjoy!

Come back tomorrow for round 2!
