Serves: 4 sandwiches
 
Ingredients
  • 2 boneless chicken breast, sliced in half so they are thin
  • salt
  • pepper
  • olive oil
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked
  • 
1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • handful fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
  • 4 ciabatta rolls (I made my own using this recipe)
  • 2 ounces smoked gouda
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • spinach (or pea shoots if you can find them)
  • 2-3 tablespoons butter
Preparation Instructions
  1. Start by mixing the basil and mayo together so the flavors can have some time to meld together (yum!)
  2. Next sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and coat with olive oil.
  3. Grill the chicken over medium heat until cooked through to 165˚.
  4. Remove the chicken from the grill and place one breast piece on each roll bottom, top with the bacon, gouda, tomato and greens.
  5. Spread the mayo mixture generously on the top of each roll and place on top of the sandwich.
  6. Now melt 1 or 2 tablespoons butter in a large frying pan over medium high heat.
  7. Carefully place the sandwiches in the pan and press down, I placed another heated frying pan on top of mine to create sort of a panini style sandwich but that is totally optional. These sandwiches are thick though so I felt like the pressing made it easier to eat them :)
  8. Once the bread on the bottom is browned nicely, carefully flip them over and brown the other side. The cheese should be melted by now and you are ready to eat!
