Directions

  1. Prepare the marinade for the chicken breasts and coat the chicken, letting it marinate for a minimum of 10 minutes.
  2. Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add cooking oil and add chicken breasts.
  3. Cook for 6 minutes on one side, flip each breast and cook for a further 3-5 minutes until breasts are cooked through.
  4. Take the chicken off the heat and let it rest.
  5. Cut the focaccia into 4 pieces (there will likely be 1/3 of it leftover). Cut these in half and place cut side up on a parchment-lined baking pan. Add your cheese slices to the bottom piece of the focaccia.
  6. Place the oven on broil and bake for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Take out of oven and set aside, let cool for 2 minutes.
  7. Add sliced sundried tomatoes on top of the cheese, then top with desired amount of pesto.
  8. Add a chicken breast to each sandwich, then top with a handful of sprouts and the top of the focaccia. Enjoy!
