Salad or Soup

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and seal the bag or cover the dish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 5

    Toast the Ciabatta Buns

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

  3. 6

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each ciabatta bun. Layer with lettuce, grilled chicken breast, crispy bacon, and sliced tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serving

  1. 7
