Chicken Caprese Pesto Ciabatta Sandwich

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. 2

   Slice the chicken breasts in half to make thin pieces and season with Italian seasoning and salt. Arrange the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

4. 4

   Cut the heirloom tomato and mozzarella cheese into four 1/3-inch-thick slices. Lay the tomato slices on a baking sheet and place the mozzarella slices on top. Put them in the oven and bake for the last 10 minutes alongside the chicken. Remove the chicken from the oven.

5. 5

   Switch the oven to broil and broil the tomatoes and cheese until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. If desired, add the ciabatta buns and toast under the broiler until browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

6. 6

   To assemble the sandwiches, place a chicken fillet on the ciabatta bun, then top with tomato, the melted mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon pesto.
