Bread & Assembly

Method

Papi Sauce

  1. 1

    Make Papi Sauce

    Whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Ginger Balsamic Glaze

  1. 2

    Make Ginger Balsamic Glaze

    In a small saucepan, simmer balsamic vinegar with grated ginger, honey, and salt over medium heat until reduced by half and syrupy, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using.

Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Season chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 5–6 minutes per side. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush each breast with a thin layer of the Ginger Balsamic Glaze and let it caramelize slightly.

Bread & Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast Bread

    Slice the ciabatta or baguette, brush cut sides with olive oil, and toast on a hot grill or skillet until golden and crisp.

  2. 5

    Assemble Sandwich

    Spread Papi Sauce on the bottom half of each toasted roll. Layer mozzarella slices, then arugula, pickled red onions, and sliced chicken. Drizzle remaining Ginger Balsamic Glaze over the chicken. Close the sandwiches, cut in half, and serve immediately.
