Make yourself a hearty sandwich that has all of your favorite flavors: Lightly seasoned grilled chicken breast topped with melting Sargento® Reserve Series™ Aged White Cheddar , plus a dollop of zesty guacamole added on top and nestled between a hearty ciabatta roll that brings everything together.
Ingredients
- 1 to 1-1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to about 1/2-inch thick
- 5 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
- Coarse salt and ground pepper to taste
- 10 slices Sargento® Reserve Series™ Aged White Cheddar, divided
- 1 (15-inch) loaf crusty ciabatta bread
- 1 pkg. (12 oz.) guacamole
- 1 medium Roma tomato, thinly sliced
- 5 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
- Coat grate with cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Lightly brush chicken with 3 Tbsp. olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on preheated grill and cook 3-5 minutes. Turn; place half of cheese on top and cook for 3-4 minutes more until cheese is melted. Remove from grill and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Cut bread open, leaving end connected so top and bottom are hinged. Brush remaining oil on top and bottom of bread.
- Place remaining cheese on bottom of bread, followed by guacamole, tomato and cilantro, if desired. Place chicken, cheese-side up, on top. Close sandwich with top of ciabatta and press down with spatula while grilling 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from grill; cut in 5 pieces and serve.
