Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS
For the Sandwich:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Clean and prepare chicken breasts. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking sheet. Tenderize the breasts with a mallet.
- In a small bowl, combine spices and mix.
- Cover the chicken breasts in spices. Drizzle some olive oil.
- Cook for about 25 - 30 minutes or until golden.
- While the oven is hot, slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Transfer to the buns to a clean baking sheet and toast for about 5 - 10 minutes.
- Chop the onions into slices. Transfer to a bowl. Pour champagne vinegar over to pickle.
For the Pesto:
- Place basil, parmesan, salt, walnuts and garlic into the blender.
- Pour in olive oil as the blender begins to blend the original ingredients. Blend until smooth.
For the Mayonnaise
- Mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, horseradish, and lemon zest together and set aside.
For the Assembly:
- Slice the tomatoes, mozzarella, onions and basil.
- Spread mayonnaise on one bun. Add pesto to the other bun.
- Layer the prepared sandwich ingredients around the chicken breasts.
- Cut and serve.
Notes
- You'll know the chicken breasts are done once they reach an internal temp of 165F.
- Grilling the chicken will add even more flavor, just don't let it dry out!
- Add some jalapeños to the onions before pickling them for an extra kick.
- I love the creaminess of fresh mozzarella but feel free to use your favorite cheese, I'm trying an aged gouda next time!
