Preparation of Chicken
Season the Chicken
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest.
Slice the Chicken
Once rested, slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips.
Assembly of Sandwich
Prepare the Bread
Slice the ciabatta bread pieces in half horizontally. Optionally, you can lightly toast the bread on the grill.
Layer Ingredients
Spread 2 tablespoons of pesto sauce on the bottom half of each ciabatta piece. Layer with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, followed by the sliced tomatoes, and then the grilled chicken strips.
Add Balsamic Glaze
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the top of the chicken in each sandwich.
Close and Serve
Top with the other half of the ciabatta bread, press down gently, and serve immediately.
