Ingredients

2

150 grams Chicken breast, thinly sliced

half teaspoon Salt

half teaspoon Black pepper

half teaspoon Garlic powder

half teaspoon Onion powder

1 tablespoon Olive oil

2 pieces Tomatoes

1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar

quarter teaspoon Salt

2 Slices Sourdough bread or 1 ciabatta bread, halved lengthwise

1 tablespoon Olive oil

2 tbsp Basil pesto sauce

1 cup Fresh arugula or rocket leaves

half cup Buffalo Mozzarella

Basil Leaves as per taste

Tips

For a vegetarian option, skip the chicken and add extra mozzarella and tomatoes.

Use whole grain bread for added fiber.

Fresh mozzarella works best, but you can substitute with regular mozzarella if needed.

Adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to your taste preference.

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

Marinate the chicken slices with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a nonstick pan.

Sauté the chicken until golden brown on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.

Cook the Tomatoes

In the same pan, add the tomato slices and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and salt.

Cook for 2 minutes or until slightly caramelized.

Toast the Bread

Toast the bread slices on both sides with olive oil until golden and crispy.

Assemble the Sandwich

Spread basil pesto sauce on one side of each bread slice.

Layer with fresh arugula or rocket leaves, sliced tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves.

Add the prepared chicken on top.

Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread.

Optionally, toast the assembled sandwich for a warm and crispy finish.

Notes

Medicinal Uses: Basil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Who Should Avoid: Individuals with dairy allergies should avoid this recipe or use dairy-free cheese alternatives.
