Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the grilled chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Grill them over medium heat until fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Slice the ciabatta bread in half and drizzle with olive oil. Spread 2 tablespoons of pesto on each half of the bread.

  3. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the bread, layer the sliced grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella slices, sliced tomato, and fresh arugula.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sandwich

    Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top and place the other half of the bread on top to close the sandwich.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, optionally with extra balsamic glaze on the side.
