Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and mushrooms, sautéing until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add roasted red peppers and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the grilled chicken and layer on one slice of ciabatta or sourdough bread. Top with the sautéed vegetables, a generous spread of pesto, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Place the other slice of bread on top.

  4. 4

    Toast the Sandwich

    In the same skillet, add a little olive oil and toast the sandwich on medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
