Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 4 pieces Ciabatta rolls
- 1 cup Fresh baby spinach
- 1 piece Fresh tomato, sliced
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
Instructions
Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. If they are thick, slice them in half horizontally to create even fillets.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the chicken fillets and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest.
In a food processor, combine sun-dried tomatoes, mayonnaise, and 6 fresh basil leaves. Blend until smooth to create the sun-dried tomato aioli.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them lightly in the skillet or under a broiler until golden.
Spread the sun-dried tomato aioli on both halves of the toasted ciabatta rolls.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering baby spinach, a slice of provolone cheese, cooked chicken, fresh tomato slices, and a couple of basil leaves.
Close the rolls, press gently, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Tuscan Chicken Sandwich!
