Notes
Prepare your chicken breasts. This can be done up to 2 days ahead of time. Pound the chicken down to 1/2-inch thickness. Don’t skip this step, it’s essential to ensuring the chicken cooks evenly and works as the 'bread'. Coat the chicken evenly with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Grill or sear chicken in a skillet 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done. Chill in refrigerator until ready for your sandwich, follow instructions.
