Ingredients

Grilled Chicken & Marinade

Oven Roasted Tomatoes

Caramelized Onions

Sandwich Assembly

Preparation

Grilled Chicken & Marinade

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours refrigerated.

2. Grill the Chicken

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes before slicing if desired.

Oven Roasted Tomatoes

3. Roast the Tomatoes

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss sliced tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15–20 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

Caramelized Onions

4. Cook the Onions

Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20–25 minutes until deep golden brown and caramelized. Reduce heat if onions begin to burn.

Basil Aioli

5. Prepare the Aioli

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chopped basil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Sandwich Assembly

6. Toast the Rolls

Slice the artisan rolls in half and lightly brush with olive oil. Toast on the grill or in a skillet until lightly crisp and warm.

7. Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread basil aioli on the bottom half of each roll. Layer with grilled chicken, provolone cheese, roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions, and arugula. Top with the remaining roll halves.

8. Serve

Serve warm while the cheese is slightly melted. Cut in half if desired and enjoy immediately.
