Grilled Brie Sandwich w/ Smoked Chicken

Back in my student days I used to eat this sandwich a lot at a cute little place in Leiden, my Alma Mater. It was such a new thing to me: a grilled Brie cheese sandwich with chicken, onions and pine nuts. I couldn't imagine that so many years later I'd still eat this. It's that good!
Grilled sandwich are always a satisfying to eat as lunch. What about you?

This grilled sandwich is super easy to make, only requires a few ingredients and you'll be instantly satisfied. I used to eat this sandwich during my student days at Catwalk, a cute little lunch place in Leiden. It was the best treat after colleges or exams.

Nowadays, I treat myself to it when I know I have a lot of stuff/deadlines for work. It really brings me back to those days and though time is tight sometimes, good lunched always cheer me up! I hope you'll like this grilled sandwich too.
