Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 loaf Focaccia bread
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Pesto sauce
- 2 cups Arugula leaves
- 2 pieces Tomatoes, sliced
- 0.5 piece Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the chicken breasts evenly with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the focaccia bread. Slice the loaf horizontally into two even layers and then cut into 4 sandwich-sized portions.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and pesto sauce. Spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the focaccia bread.
Layer the bottom halves of the focaccia with arugula leaves, tomato slices, sliced red onion, grilled chicken strips, and a slice of provolone cheese.
Top with the other halves of the focaccia bread to form sandwiches.
Optional: Warm the assembled sandwiches on the grill or in a pan for 2-3 minutes to slightly melt the cheese and toast the bread.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Focaccia Sandwiches!
