How to Make Antipasto Chicken Sandwich
- Spread 2 tablespoons of olive paste evenly on the bottom half of the 8-inch focaccia bread.
- Arrange 2 cups of shredded or sliced cooked chicken breast on top of the olive paste.
- Layer 1/2 cup quartered marinated artichoke hearts, 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes, and 1/4 cup sliced roasted red peppers over the chicken.
- Top with 3-4 thinly sliced prosciutto and 1/4 cup shredded provolone cheese.
- Place the top half of the focaccia bread on top and gently press to form a sandwich.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sandwich to the pan. Place a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) on top of the sandwich.
- Press gently to flatten the sandwich. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
- Cut the sandwich into 4 wedges.
- Serve immediately with pepperoncini, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
