Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), thinly sliced
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 4 hearty sourdough or ciabatta rolls
- 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Fresh basil and thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Add sliced chicken to the marinade; toss gently to coat and let sit for about 10–12 minutes.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush cut sides of each roll with olive oil and grill until golden brown (1–2 minutes).
- Drizzle more oil into the pan and cook marinated chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until opaque.
- Assemble sandwiches with provolone first, followed by mozzarella and glazed chicken. Sprinkle with chopped herbs before closing the sandwich.
- Return sandwiches to the grill pan; cover with a lid and cook for another 2–3 minutes until cheese melts.
