Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ciabatta rolls
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese (fresh, sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Roma tomatoes (sliced)
- 8 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cups Mixed salad greens
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally into two even pieces. Lightly pound each piece to ensure even thickness.
Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for 5-10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to create a garlic aioli and set aside.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly brush the cut sides with the remaining olive oil.
Grill the chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). During the last minute of cooking, place slices of mozzarella on top of the chicken to melt slightly.
Toast the ciabatta rolls on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread garlic aioli on the bottom halves of the ciabatta rolls. Layer with mixed greens, grilled chicken with melted mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.
Place the top halves of the rolls onto the sandwiches and gently press down. Serve immediately.
