Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 slices Mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 8 pieces Fresh basil leaves
• 4 pieces Ciabatta rolls, sliced in half
• 8 slices Tomato slices
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4

Towards the last minute of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella on top of each chicken breast and let it melt.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, spread butter on the cut sides of the ciabatta rolls and toast them on a skillet or grill pan until golden and crisp.

Step 6

Assemble the sandwiches by placing each cooked chicken breast on the bottom half of a toasted ciabatta roll. Top with 2 slices of tomato, fresh basil leaves, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Step 7

Place the top half of the ciabatta on the sandwich, press gently, and serve warm. Enjoy your Quick Italian Chicken Sandwiches!
