Layer grilled chicken, feta cheese, and an olive- and tomato-topping for these fantastic dinner sandwiches. The tomato mixture also tastes wonderful when served on slices of toasted baguette as an appetizer.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups diced seeded tomato
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pitted kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 5 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil, divided
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese
- 4 (2-ounce) ciabatta sandwich rolls, halved
Preparation
Combine first 7 ingredients in a small bowl. Add 2 teaspoons oil; toss gently to combine. Let stand 15 minutes.
Prepare grill.
Brush chicken evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place chicken on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Remove from grill. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Add cheese and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to tomato mixture; stir gently to combine. Arrange sliced chicken evenly on bottom halves of rolls. Top each serving with one-fourth of tomato mixture, and cover with top halves of rolls. Serve immediately.

I hesitate to give this recipe only three stars, but it was in fact a "good, solid recipe." There was no wow factor for me, but I'll still probably make this again -- but in the summer when, in general, sandwiches for dinner seem to lend themselves best for warm evenings spent outside. Whether you eat this in October or July, it'll taste just the same. I enjoyed trying a new recipe.10/13/09

Easy, healthy and very yummy! I agree w/someone else who said it tasted like a restaurant sandwich. I can't believe how easy it was too! I will say that I could not find Ciabatta rolls so I used sliced Ciabatta bread from the Publix bakery and it was great. My husband who doesn't care for tomotoes or olives even liked it because the blend of flavors and fresh herbs is so good. YUMMY!06/12/09
