Method

Preparation Steps

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix the pesto sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Sandwich

Slice the ciabatta or baguette in half. Layer fresh basil leaves on the bottom half, followed by sliced chicken and mozzarella cheese. Drizzle a little extra pesto on top if desired, then close the sandwich.

Serve

Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, optionally with a side salad or chips.
