Grilled Chicken Sandwich
This Grilled Chicken Sandwich is simple, juicy, and packed with flavor. Tender chicken breasts are seasoned with paprika, garlic, and soy sauce, then pan-grilled until golden and layered inside toasted ciabatta with creamy mayonnaise, melted cheese, pickled red peppers, and fresh lettuce.
Ingredients
For the Grilled Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts sliced in half horizontally (to make 4 cutlets)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oil for cooking
For Assembling the Sandwiches
- 4 ciabatta rolls or 2 large ciabatta breads cut in half
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- Pickled red peppers
- 4 cheese slices cheddar or gouda
- Lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner cutlets.
- This will give you four pieces of chicken that cook quickly and evenly.
- Season the chicken with salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and soy sauce. Rub the seasoning well into both sides of the chicken and let it sit for about 5–10 minutes so the flavors absorb.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Place the seasoned chicken cutlets into the pan and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and nicely golden on the outside.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Slice the ciabatta rolls in half.
- Lightly toast them in a pan or toaster until they are slightly crisp and warm.
- Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll. Add the grilled chicken, cheese slice, followed by pickled red peppers and lettuce.
- Then place the top half of the ciabatta bread over the filling.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately while the chicken is warm and the bread is lightly toasted. These sandwiches pair well with fries, potato wedges, or a simple side salad.
