Description
A delicious and fresh Chicken Caprese Sandwich featuring grilled chicken breast, ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze on a toasted ciabatta roll.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 ciabatta rolls, split
4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese, about 2 ounces total
1 medium ripe tomato, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
8 fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill pan and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice each breast into 1/4 inch thick slices.
While the chicken rests, toast the ciabatta rolls in the same pan or a toaster until lightly golden.
Spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll.
Layer the sliced chicken evenly over the mayonnaise on each sandwich bottom.
Top the chicken with 2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese per sandwich, followed by tomato slices and 4 basil leaves.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the toppings on each sandwich.
Place the top halves of the ciabatta rolls on the sandwiches and press gently.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Caprese Sandwich.
