Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 4 oz each) Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 1 medium, sliced Avocado
- 2 rolls Gluten-free ciabatta rolls
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground paprika.
Step 3
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over them.
Step 4
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they have a golden-brown crust.
Step 5
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
While the chicken is in the oven, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and butter each half of the rolls.
Step 7
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
Step 8
On a baking sheet, arrange the ciabatta rolls cut side up. Place sliced chicken evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Layer tomato slices, avocado slices, and basil leaves over the chicken.
Step 9
Top each with 2 slices of mozzarella cheese.
Step 10
Place the topped ciabatta halves in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 11
Assemble the sandwiches by placing the top halves of the ciabatta rolls over the melted cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free chicken melts!
