Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf (approximately 8 inches) Ciabatta bread
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 piece (about 6 ounces) Grilled chicken breast
- 2 slices Provolone cheese
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Slice the ciabatta bread in half lengthwise. Drizzle the cut sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with half of the minced garlic.
Place the ciabatta slices, cut-side down, onto the grill pan. Toast for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy. Set aside.
Season the grilled chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the grill pan and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juicy. Remove from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
Preheat the broiler on high. Place the toasted ciabatta halves on a baking sheet, cut-side up.
Layer the sandwich: Start with the sliced grilled chicken on the bottom half of the ciabatta. Add the provolone cheese slices on top of the chicken. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles slightly.
Remove from the broiler and layer on the fresh spinach, roasted red peppers, and thin slices of red onion. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top.
Finish by placing the top half of the ciabatta loaf onto the sandwich. Press down gently to compress the layers slightly.
Slice the sandwich into two portions and serve immediately. Pair with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
