Instructions

Cut chicken breast in half and pound it to thin it out. Drizzle olive oil over both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Grill chicken until cooked through.
While chicken is grilling, cut ciabatta rolls in half. Set aside.
Mix pesto and mayonnaise together and spread evenly over the ciabatta roll halves. Top with fresh mozzarella. On the top rack of the oven, broil on high until the bread is golden brown on the edges and the cheese is slightly melted about 2-3 minutes.
Add chicken, bacon, arugula, and tomatoes to each sandwich.
Serve immediately.

Notes

If you're making this sandwich during the summer, go ahead and fire up the grill to cook the chicken. You can also use a grill pan on the stove or an indoor electric grill like a George Foreman, or you can bake it in the oven.
Use fresh mozzarella for this sandwich for optimal melting and flavor.
Ciabatta bread tastes delicious, but this would also taste great on our rosemary Parmesan focaccia bread.
