Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich

  • 1 loaf ciabatta Fresh ciabatta loaf
  • 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt Plus a pinch for later
  • 1.5 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Plus a pinch for later
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne
  • 4 pieces chicken cutlets
  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 juice lemon Freshly squeezed
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 0.25 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 piece thinly sliced tomato
  • 8 pieces thinly sliced mozzarella cheese From the deli

For Toasting

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking the chicken
  • 1 drizzle olive oil For drizzling on ciabatta

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the ciabatta loaf in half and drizzle olive oil over the inside. Place it on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s golden and crispy.

Cook the Chicken and Prosciutto

  • Season the chicken cutlets with Kosher salt, oregano, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and cayenne.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are cooked through.
  • In the last minute of cooking, add the prosciutto to the skillet to crisp it up slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Aioli

  • In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir well until fully combined.

Assemble the Sandwich

  • Take the toasted ciabatta and spread the aioli on the inside.
  • Layer the cooked chicken cutlets, crispy prosciutto, shredded romaine lettuce, sliced red onion, sliced tomato, and mozzarella cheese on one half of the bread.
  • Close the sandwich with the other half and cut it into portions as desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken cutlets in olive oil, lemon juice, and spices for a few hours before cooking. Feel free to add more veggies, like bell peppers or cucumbers, for added crunch and freshness. If you prefer, you can grill the chicken cutlets instead of pan-frying them for a different flavor.
