Ingredients

For the Chicken

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp italian seasoning

For the Sandwich

4 ciabatta rolls
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese cut into 2oz slices
2 large tomatoes cut into slices
Fresh basil leaves
Balsamic glaze

Instructions

Cut each chicken breast into 2 thinner filets. Whisk balsamic vinegar, olive oil and italian seasoning - toss chicken in marinade, cover and place in the fridge for 30 mins to 1 hour.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and place marinated chicken filets in the skillet. Cook 4-5 minutes each side. Remove chicken from the skillet when the internal temperature reaches 165F.
While the chicken is cooking, turn the oven on to broil. Cut the ciabatta rolls in half. Rub each side with the garlic clove and brush with oil. Place on a baking sheet cut side up and place under the boiler for 2-3 minutes - just until they start to brown.
Assemble the sandwiches with the chicken then mozzarella, tomato, basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
