Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the ciabatta bread in half horizontally. If desired, lightly toast the cut sides on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto sauce on each cut side of the ciabatta. Layer on the sliced grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced tomato, fresh basil leaves, and arugula.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately, or wrap it up for a delicious meal on-the-go.
