- 2 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
- 4 slices Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 large Tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup Pesto
- 4 slices Ciabatta or other preferred Bread
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken breasts by butterflying if thick, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cooking in a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
- Add a slice of mozzarella on top of the chicken 1 minute before cooking is complete.
- Toast the bread until golden brown, optionally brushing with garlic butter.
- Build the sandwich by spreading pesto on both sides of the bread, then layering with chicken, melted mozzarella, tomato slices, and fresh basil leaves.
- Serve the sandwich immediately, sliced in half, with sides like roasted veggies or salad.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper before cooking. Experiment with different types of bread and customize your pesto for variation.
