Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Smoked chicken breast
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 loaves Ciabatta bread
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Arugula
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the ciabatta bread into halves lengthwise and lightly brush the inside of each half with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly on the inner side of each bread half.
Roughly chop the rosemary leaves from one sprig (reserve the second sprig for garnish or additional aroma) and sprinkle them over the mayonnaise mixture.
Layer the smoked chicken breast slices on the bottom half of the bread, followed by two slices of provolone cheese for each sandwich.
Top the cheese with a handful of arugula, spreading it evenly on each sandwich.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the arugula for added flavor.
Cover the sandwiches with the top half of the ciabatta bread.
Place the sandwiches in the preheated panini press (or in the skillet with a heavy pan pressed on top to mimic a press) and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Remove the panini from the press/skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing in half for easier handling.
Serve immediately with your favorite side salad or soup.
