Ingredients 

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts

  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 ciabatta rolls
  • 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 6 Tbsp pesto
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 2 chicken cutlets from each chicken breast. Season both sides of chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken on both sides for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • Remove chicken from the pan.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by slicing the ciabatta rolls in half. Spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one half of each roll. Spread about 1¼ tablespoons of pesto on the other half of each roll, then add a chicken cutlet to each sandwich.
  • Add 1 slice of mozzarella to each sandwich, followed by a tomato slice and romaine if desired.
  • Top the sandwich with the ciabatta roll with pesto. Lightly brush olive oil on top roll, then return sandwiches to the skillet. Cook each sandwich for 2 minutes per side, or until the mozzarella has fully melted.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
