Ingredients
  

Chicken & Marinade
  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
Sandwich Build
  • 1 large rustic loaf ciabatta or sourdough, cut into 2 sections
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 0.25 cup marinara sauce warmed
  • 1 large avocado mashed or sliced
  • 1 medium tomato sliced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Broiler or Toaster Oven
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until cooked through (about 6-8 mins per side). Let rest, then slice thickly.
  2. Slice the bread sections in half horizontally. Toast until golden and crispy.
  3. Spread marinara sauce on the bottom halves of the bread. Top with provolone cheese. Broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Layer the sliced grilled chicken on top of the melted cheese.
  5. On the top halves of the bread, spread the avocado. Top with tomato slices and shredded lettuce.
  6. Carefully place the top halves onto the bottom halves. Press down gently, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use a sturdy bread like ciabatta that can hold up to the generous fillings. For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
