Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound)
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 4 ciabatta rolls
  • 16 slices oven-roasted tomatoes (Oven-Roasted Tomatoes)
  • 1 cup baby arugula leaf, roughly chopped into 1/2 inch strips
  • 12 lemon
  • 4 ounces asiago cheese, grated using the large holes of a box grater

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350; wash and pat dry the chicken breasts; put chicken breasts on a foil-lined baking tray.
  2. 2
    Rub each with a teaspoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper; bake 12-15 minutes until the breasts are opaque and firm to the touch.

    Slicing across the breast, cut the chicken into 1/8 inch slices.
  4. 4
    Preheat a panini grill.
  5. 5
    Slice off the domed tops of the ciabatta rolls; the rolls should now be about 1 inch thick; split the rolls horizontally.
  6. 6
    Cover the bottom halves of the ciabatta with an even layer of sliced chicken; follow with a layer of oven-roasted tomatoes.
  7. 7
    Season with salt and pepper before adding chopped arugula.
  8. 8
    Give each a squeeze of lemon juice and then top with a layer of grated asiago.
  9. 9
    Cover the sandwiches with the tops of the ciabatta and place, two at a time, in the preheated grill.
  10. 10
    They are done when you can smell the cheese, about 3 minutes.
