1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
Serve
Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, optionally with a side salad or chips.
