Main Ingredients

Lemon Mayo

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

  2. 2

    Season and Wrap

    Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Lay 2 slices of prosciutto on each chicken breast, followed by 1 slice of fontina and a sprinkle of fresh thyme. Fold the chicken over to encase the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and heat. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the prosciutto is crispy and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest.

Making the Lemon Mayo

  1. 4

    Prepare Lemon Mayo

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Toast the Ciabatta

    Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous layer of lemon mayo on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll. Place a piece of the chicken saltimbocca on top, followed by a handful of arugula. Top with the other half of the ciabatta roll.
