DH and I really enjoyed this recipe! I made a couple of minor changes based on what I had available: small ripe tomatoes from my garden, roughly chopped, subbed for the cherry tomatoes and greek olives subbed for the nicoise. I also goofed and tossed the tomatoes in with everything else to simmer... and it was still excellent! I served it with couscous and chopped fresh parsley. The chicken thighs were moist and flavorful (I temped them...165 degrees... so cook time was not quite the hour called for) and the sauce delicious over the couscous. Delicious! Thanks senioritapupnstuff!

Wow! This was so good!!!! I doubled the sauce....you will be very glad you did. Used really nice sirloin that I had the butcher slice super thin. Safeway is really good about doing that. Added diced carrots, green onions and one small hot red pepper to the marinade but took it out before cooking so an unsuspecting husband who is a wus about hot stuff wouldn't find it. Served with rice, added rice vermicelli (which is served with Mongolian beef in Chinese restaurants) and topped with the meat. My husband, who always refuses to try Mongolian Beef when I order it, LOVED it. I will definitely be making this again soon.

I was not sure about the BBQ sauce/ranch dressing combo, but it works! I also mashed the avocado because I can then spread it on the bread for avocado in every bite, but that is not really a problem with this recipe... it's a very minor change! The combo of all the flavors is really good! The only change I made was to use a nice, crusty sourdough roll instead of the soft hoagie... and that really made it stellar! Also, I agree with Rhondals..."Thanks buyologist and murphsandy for your ratings"... and am amazed at the number of people who do this very thing. If you don't like the nutritional info, just move on... but don't rate/review when you haven't made the recipe. And, Buyologist..."if you have to have bread"?? It's a SANDWICH RECIPE, for crying out loud! DH and I often eat only one meal on weekend days... so this sandwich is perfect because it fills us up and I don't worry about fixing a big dinner! Thanks, Angelshark... don't listen to those "critics" who haven't tried this delicious recipe!
