Pesto Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Pesto Chicken Sandwich Directions
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Cook the Chicken
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the grill or skillet. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Slice the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the chicken breasts into thin pieces.
Assemble the Sandwich
Cut the ciabatta loaves in half. Spread a generous amount of pesto sauce on the bottom half of each loaf.
Add Chicken and Toppings
Layer the sliced chicken on top of the pesto, followed by slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes, and a handful of fresh basil leaves.
Finish the Sandwich
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil on the top half of the ciabatta loaves, then place them on top of the assembled sandwich.
Serve
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately while warm.
