Ingredients
- 2 pieces skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 4 pieces whole wheat sandwich rolls
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice each chicken breast into thin cutlets by carefully cutting them in half horizontally. This will create four small pieces from each breast.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to make a marinade.
Step 4
Place the chicken cutlets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over, making sure each piece is well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 5
Heat a grilling pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and golden brown.
Step 6
While the chicken is cooking, slice the whole wheat sandwich rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Step 7
Place two ounces of mozzarella on the bottom half of each roll and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Once the chicken is cooked and cheese melted, assemble the sandwiches by layering baby spinach leaves, two grilled chicken pieces, sun-dried tomatoes, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and fresh basil leaves.
Step 9
Top with the upper half of the roll and press lightly to hold everything together.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Chicken Parmesan Sandwich!
