Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 pieces Ciabatta rolls
- 4 slices Fresh mozzarella
- 1 large Tomatoes
- 6 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest.
While the chicken is resting, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly butter the cut sides.
Toast the ciabatta rolls on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the grill.
Slice the tomatoes into thick rounds and set aside.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing one grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll.
Top the chicken with 2 slices of mozzarella, followed by tomato slices and fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle each sandwich with 1 teaspoon of balsamic glaze for added flavor.
Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the ciabatta rolls.
Serve immediately, either as is or sliced in half for easier handling.
