1
Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
3
Add Pesto
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and spread pesto sauce evenly on top of each chicken breast.
4
Melt the Cheese
Return the chicken to the skillet and place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each piece. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
5
Prepare the Sandwich
While the cheese is melting, slice the ciabatta rolls in half. On the bottom half, layer fresh spinach and sliced tomato.
6
Assemble the Sandwich
Once the cheese has melted, place the pesto chicken on top of the spinach and tomato layer. Top with the other half of the ciabatta roll.
7
Serve
Serve the sandwiches warm, with your choice of side.
