Quick and easy lunch or dinner recipe for a delicious toasted sandwich!

Halve the chicken breasts lengthways to obtain 2 chicken chops from each chicken breast. Season both sides of the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken on both sides for about 5 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Take the chicken out of the pan.
Assemble the sandwiches by slicing the ciabatta rolls in half. Spread about 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on one half of each roll. Spread about 1¼ tablespoons of pesto on the other half of each bun, then place a chicken cutlet on top of each sandwich.
Add 1 slice of mozzarella to each sandwich, followed by a slice of tomato and romaine, if desired.
Cover the sandwich with the ciabatta roll with pesto. Brush the top roll lightly with olive oil, then return the sandwiches to the pan. Cook each sandwich for 2 minutes per side or until the mozzarella is completely melted.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
