Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 slices Ciabatta bread
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 small Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 leaves Lettuce
Instructions
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness, approximately 1/2 inch, for even cooking.
Brush both sides of the chicken breast with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Grill the chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the ciabatta bread in half and spread mayonnaise evenly on one or both halves.
Slice the grilled chicken breast to fit the bread and place it on the bottom half of the ciabatta.
Layer the cheddar cheese slices on top of the chicken.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and place them on top of the cheese.
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Add them on top of the tomato slices.
Top with the other half of ciabatta bread to form a sandwich.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet.
Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve.
