With back to school starting last week things are definitely feeling so much busier! I love doing a sandwich night once a week to make things easy!
This easy grilled chicken sandwich comes together in just 30 minutes and I even keep this one gluten-free using Schar’s ciabatta bread!
Ingredients:
- chicken breast: cut in half down the middle to make thinner breast
- paprika
- salt

- pepper
- provolone cheese
- bacon
- arugula
- peaches
- chipotle aioli
- butter

The key to a great sandwich
for this recipe you want to make sure you slice the chicken really thin before adding it to the sandwich! I also like to let it sit for just a few minutes after cooking so the chicken stays juicy!
Layer both sides of the bread with the homemade chipotle aioli. If you do not care for spicy sauces, you could do a basil pesto with this or even a BBQ sauce, which is what my husband prefers!
Slice the peaches super thin! I do leave the skin on because I don’t mind the texture, but if it bothers you, just cut it off. You could sub for sliced apples as well!
I am using Schar’s gluten-free ciabatta rolls for this! The have the best texture and flavor! I like to butter them up and toast up in a hot skillet until the turn a golden brown color.
