Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 8 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 4 pieces Ciabatta rolls, sliced in half
- 8 slices Tomato slices
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Towards the last minute of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella on top of each chicken breast and let it melt.
While the chicken is cooking, spread butter on the cut sides of the ciabatta rolls and toast them on a skillet or grill pan until golden and crisp.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing each cooked chicken breast on the bottom half of a toasted ciabatta roll. Top with 2 slices of tomato, fresh basil leaves, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Place the top half of the ciabatta on the sandwich, press gently, and serve warm. Enjoy your Quick Italian Chicken Sandwiches!
