Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Coat the butterflied chicken breast with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is resting, wash and chop the lettuce, slice the tomato, onion, and avocado.

  2. 5

    Toast the Ciabatta Rolls

    Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll. Place the cooked chicken breast on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, pickle slices, and avocado. Top with the other half of the ciabatta roll.
