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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
