Ingredients

• 1 piece Chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 slices Ciabatta bread
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 slices Cheddar cheese
• 1 small Tomato
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 leaves Lettuce

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness, approximately 1/2 inch, for even cooking.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the chicken breast with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Grill the chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 5

Slice the ciabatta bread in half and spread mayonnaise evenly on one or both halves.

Step 6

Slice the grilled chicken breast to fit the bread and place it on the bottom half of the ciabatta.

Step 7

Layer the cheddar cheese slices on top of the chicken.

Step 8

Slice the tomato into thin rounds and place them on top of the cheese.

Step 9

Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Add them on top of the tomato slices.

Step 10

Top with the other half of ciabatta bread to form a sandwich.

Step 11

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet.

Step 12

Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 13

Remove from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve.
