Create a delicious Chicken Caprese Sandwich using fresh ingredients. Perfect for lunch or dinner.
I love to use fresh ingredients out of our garden, and this sandwich came to be when I had an abundance of basil and tomatoes. We make a lot of caprese salads, so I decided to turn that yummy salad into a delicious sandwich using grilled chicken and sliced cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Ciabatta bread is perfect for this sandwiches because it holds up really well under the weight of the chicken breast. I topped the roll with chicken and then added a layer of pesto mayo.
I then topped it with some fresh tomato, Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheese slices and fresh basil.
Of course no Caprese chicken sandwich would be complete with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
This sandwich is delicious and holds up so well in a lunch bag. Just be sure to add in an ice pack or refrigerate the sandwich until lunch time to keep the cheese fresh and the mayo chilled.

Now that is a lunch worth eating! I can’t believe what they get away with serving in schools, and they call it healthy 🙁 This is a much better option.
