Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Ciabatta bread
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the grill pan. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
Slice the ciabatta bread in half horizontally to create sandwich halves.
Spread a thin layer of the mayo-mustard mixture on the cut sides of each bread piece.
Layer the sliced chicken, roasted red peppers, fresh spinach, and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the bottom halves of the bread. Top with the other halves to close the sandwiches.
Brush the outsides of each sandwich lightly with the remaining olive oil or melted butter.
Place the sandwiches on the grill pan and press down slightly using another heavy skillet or a panini press, cooking 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the heat, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
