Chicken and Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade.

  2. 4

    Grill Chicken

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

  3. 5

    Melt Cheese

    In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of Jack cheese on each chicken breast and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

  4. 6

    Rest Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

Assembling the Sandwich

    Prepare Rolls

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

    Spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on each half of the toasted ciabatta rolls.

  3. 9

    Add Lettuce

    Place 2 lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each roll.

  4. 10

    Add Tomato

    Slice the tomato and layer it on top of the lettuce.

    Place the grilled chicken with melted Jack cheese on top of the tomato slices.

  6. 12

    Add Parmesan & Herbs

    Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and dried herbs on top of the chicken.
