- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella
- 1/2 cup pesto

2. Cook the Chicken: Grill or cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked through and nicely browned.
3. Toast the Rolls: Brush the inside of the ciabatta rolls with olive oil and toast until lightly golden.
4. Melt the Cheese: Place mozzarella on top of the cooked chicken and let it melt.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread pesto on the top half of each roll. Place the chicken on the bottom half, then add tomato slices and arugula.
6. Serve: Close the sandwiches and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
The Chicken Pesto Sandwich pairs beautifully with a variety of sides and beverages. Consider serving it with a crisp salad, some crunchy potato chips, or a refreshing glass of iced tea or lemonade. For a heartier meal, you could add a creamy tomato soup or a zesty pasta salad. To customize the sandwich further, you could try adding a slice of crispy bacon or swapping the mozzarella for a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
