Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 4 pieces Ciabatta rolls
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Mixed greens (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this seasoning mixture onto both sides of each chicken breast.
Coat the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts in half horizontally, creating 4 pieces that fit the sandwich rolls.
Cut the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and lightly butter the cut sides.
Toast the buttered ciabatta halves on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until golden and slightly crispy.
On the bottom half of each ciabatta roll, layer one piece of grilled chicken, one slice of mozzarella cheese, two basil leaves, one tomato slice, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Add mixed greens if desired, and place the top half of the ciabatta roll on each sandwich.
Serve the sandwiches immediately, while the mozzarella is warm and slightly melted.
