Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 2

    Toast the Buns

    While the chicken is grilling, split the burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with mayonnaise until well combined.

  4. 4

    Slice the Ingredients

    Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Slice the fresh mozzarella and tomato.

  5. 5

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of the pesto aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer the grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and spinach leaves on top. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and place the top half of the bun over the fillings.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Chicken Caprese Sandwich warm and enjoy!
