Equipment
- Grill or stovetop pan
- Mixing bowls
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Spatula
- Toaster or grill pan
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ciabatta or French rolls
- 1 cup arugula or mixed greens
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- Olive oil for grilling
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Aioli:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken on medium heat until fully cooked, approximately 6-8 minutes per side.
- Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Make the Aioli:
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste. This aioli will serve as the flavorful spread for your sandwich.
Slice and Toast the Rolls:
- Cut the ciabatta or French rolls in half. Lightly toast them on a grill pan or in a toaster until they have a golden-brown crust.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread a generous amount of the garlic aioli on both sides of each roll. Place slices of grilled chicken on the bottom half of each roll. Top with Swiss cheese, tomato slices, red onion, and a handful of arugula or mixed greens.
Final Touch:
- Put the top half of the roll on each sandwich, pressing gently. If desired, secure the sandwiches with toothpicks for easier handling.
