How to Make Balsamic Chicken Sandwich Or Panini

In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat a panini press or large skillet over medium heat.
Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade. Cook chicken in the skillet until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side), or in the panini press until cooked through and grill marks appear.
Slice the chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Spread arugula on the bottom halves of the ciabatta rolls.
Top with chicken slices and provolone cheese.
Place the top halves of the rolls on top and grill in the panini press until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Alternatively, you can cook this in a skillet on medium heat with a heavy pan or weight on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
