  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 19 minute

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
– 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
– Fresh basil leaves
– 4 ciabatta rolls or sandwich buns
– Balsamic glaze (optional)
– Pesto sauce (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Caprese Chicken Sandwich:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat the Olive Oil: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
4. Add Mozzarella: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella on each chicken breast. Cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
5. Toast the Rolls: While the chicken is cooking, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them lightly in a toaster or on a pan.
6. Assemble the Sandwich: Once the chicken is cooked and the cheese is melted, place the chicken breasts on the bottom halves of the toasted rolls.
7. Layer the Toppings: Top each chicken breast with slices of tomato and fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with balsamic glaze or spread pesto sauce if desired.
8. Close the Sandwich: Place the top halves of the rolls over the fillings to complete the sandwich.
9. Serve Immediately: Serve the sandwiches warm, while the cheese is still gooey and delicious.
