Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 lices mozzarella
- 1/2 cup pesto sauce store bought or homemade
- Soft focaccia loaf halved lengthwise
- 2 beef tomatoes sliced
Instructions
- Rub the chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and oil.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken cutlets for 3 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and no longer pink on the inside.
- Remove from the heat and immediately top with mozzarella.
- Spread your pesto sauce over the bottom focaccia slice, top with grilled chicken, and tomato slices, and finish off with the top focaccia slice.
Notes
- Switch up the meat: Grilled turkey breast also tastes wonderful in this Caprese sandwich recipe.
- Make it vegetarian: Skip the meat and turn it into a vegetarian grilled cheese! Place a slice of focaccia bread on the grill with a slice of cheese on top until it melts and then add the tomatoes and pesto on top before serving.
- Use different tomatoes: Beef tomatoes, salad tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes are delicious in a grilled chicken sandwich! Cherry tomatoes are my favorite for flavor, however, they tend to fall out easier than larger tomatoes.
