Ingredients

  • 6 slices Whole-grain bread or ciabatta
  • 360 g Cooked rotisserie or grilled chicken
  • 6 tbsp Basil pesto
  • 90 g Fresh mozzarella
  • 2 medium Tomato
  • 60 g Arugula
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil or butter

Instructions

1

Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Slice the tomatoes thinly and set aside. Slice fresh mozzarella into thin rounds.

2

Spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto on each slice of bread or each half of the ciabatta rolls.

3

Divide the cooked chicken evenly and layer it on half of the bread slices. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

4

Add slices of fresh mozzarella on top of the chicken layer, followed by a layer of sliced tomatoes.

5

Add a small handful of arugula on top of the tomatoes, and then top with the second slice of bread or the other half of the roll.

6

Lightly brush the outside of each sandwich with olive oil or spread a thin layer of butter.

7

Grill the sandwiches on the preheated grill pan, pressing down lightly with a spatula or a heavy pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

8

Remove from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Cut in half if desired, and serve warm.
