Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes     Sandwich Recipes

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf ciabatta (1 pound)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
1/2 cup olive tapenade
4 ounces sliced provolone
8 ounces low-moisture mozzarella (such as Polly-O), thinly sliced
1 cup thinly sliced roasted red peppers
1 jar (12 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
4 ounces thinly sliced spicy salami
2 cups baby arugula

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Split bread horizontally; scoop out soft interior and reserve for croutons or breadcrumbs (see cook's note). Brush inside of each bread half with oil. Bake, cut-side up, until toasted, about 7 minutes. Let cool completely. Spread tapenade on bottom half of bread; add provolone and mozzarella. Top with peppers, artichokes, and salami. Scatter top with arugula. Top with other bread half; press to sandwich.
  • Wrap tightly with foil. Place a heavy skillet on top; weigh down with canned goods. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  • Preheat a grill to medium, or oven to 375°F. Transfer wrapped sandwich to grill and cover (or transfer to oven); cook, flipping once, until cheese begins to melt and bread is crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove foil, slice, and serve.

Tips:

Flavorful Marinade: - Enhance the chicken's flavor by using a marinade with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning, and fresh herbs like basil or oregano. Tender and Juicy Chicken: - Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a tender and juicy texture. - Control the heat and cooking time to prevent overcooking and drying out the chicken. Well-Balanced Sandwich Assembly: - Create a harmonious sandwich by balancing the flavors of the chicken, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Ensure the sauce complements the chicken and cheese, while the toppings add contrasting textures and flavors. Fresh and High-Quality Ingredients: - Utilize high-quality ingredients for maximum flavor and texture. Fresh herbs, ripe tomatoes, and artisanal bread elevate the sandwich to another level.

Conclusion:

Embrace the delightful flavors of the Italian Grilled Chicken Sandwich by following these tips. Experiment with different marinade ingredients to create unique flavor profiles. Grill the chicken to perfection, aiming for a tender and juicy interior with a smoky char. Assemble the sandwich with a flavorful sauce, melted cheese, crisp vegetables, and fresh herbs.
