Method
Chicken and Sandwich
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts to ensure they are well-seasoned.

Grill the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Assemble the Sandwich
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken breasts. Cut the ciabatta rolls in half and spread a generous amount of pesto sauce on both halves. Layer sliced chicken, fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and basil leaves on the bottom half of each roll. Top with the other half of the roll.
