Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup basil pesto
- 4 pieces ciabatta rolls
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1 large tomato
- 1 cup arugula
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Grill the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly butter each cut side.
Toast the ciabatta rolls on the grill, cut-side down, for about 1-2 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of basil pesto on the bottom half of each roll.
Top the pesto with a grilled chicken cutlet, a slice of provolone cheese, a couple of tomato slices, and a handful of arugula.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the top half of each roll, then place it on top of the sandwich.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful grilled pesto chicken sandwiches!
