Sandwich Components

French Fries

Method

Prepare French Fries

  1. 1

    Cut and Season Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the potatoes into thin strips. In a bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the potato strips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Prepare the Chicken Sandwich

  1. 3

    Blacken the Chicken

    Season the chicken breast with spices for blackening (paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper). Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and charred.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of ciabatta bread, spread pesto. Place the blackened chicken on top, followed by roasted tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and a drizzle of lemon oil. Top with arugula and spread garlic aioli on the other slice of bread before closing the sandwich.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the blackened chicken sandwich hot with a side of freshly baked French fries.
