This recipe came from a craving for a toasted sandwich. It's real easy to make. I guesstimated (high) on cooking time, since I never watch the clock as I cook, sorry. Ingredients:
1 loaf crusty bread (such as ciabatta) |
4 chicken breasts (boneless and frozen) |
2 tomatoes, sliced thinly |
12 basil leaves |
8 slices mozzarella cheese |
1 avocado, sliced |
garlic powder |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F.
2. Take chicken, put in shallow baking dish, sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook until no longer pink, 30-40 minutes.
3. While cooking slice bread into chunky sandwich slices and butter.
4. When chicken is done take out and set oven to broil, place bread under broiler. **Watch the bread, it only takes a couple of minutes and will burn very quickly.**.
5. Remove bread and keep broiler on.
6. Cut the chicken in half, to make it thinner.
7. Slice the avocado.
8. Take the toasted bread bottoms, layer; 1 slice cheese, 1/2 of 1 chicken breast, 2 tomato slices, 3 basil leaves, 2 slices of avocado, 1/2 slice of chicken, 1 slice of cheese.
9. When finished put top of sandwiches on and press down with palm of your hand.
10. Stick back under broiler until cheese is melted, *watch closely*.
11. I serve with a side salad.
