Tuscan chicken sandwich
Tuscan chicken sandwich typically includes grilled chicken breast, sun-dried tomatoes, basil pesto, fresh spinach, and sometimes mozzarella cheese, all served on a crusty bread like ciabatta or focaccia. It's a delicious and flavorful combination that captures the essence of Tuscan cuisine.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons basil pesto
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 4 crusty sandwich rolls (like ciabatta or focaccia)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, slice the sandwich rolls in half and brush the cut sides with olive oil. Toast them on the grill until lightly browned.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice each chicken breast into thin strips.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto on the bottom half of each roll.
- Top with a handful of fresh spinach leaves, followed by the sliced chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and a slice of mozzarella cheese.
- Place the top half of the roll on top and press gently to compact the sandwich.
- Serve the Tuscan chicken sandwiches warm and enjoy!
