Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 tomato
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into thinner fillets, yielding four pieces total.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the chicken fillets with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and butter the cut sides.
In the same skillet or on a grill pan, toast the ciabatta rolls cut-side down until golden and crispy. Set aside.
Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each cooked chicken fillet while they are still warm, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds for sandwich assembly.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise onto the cut sides of the toasted ciabatta rolls.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the mayonnaise, then layer the sandwich with chicken topped with mozzarella, tomato slices, and fresh basil leaves.
Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the ciabatta rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy your quick and cheesy chicken mozzarella sandwiches!
