Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ciabatta roll
  • 4 oz cooked chicken
  • 2 tbsp pesto mixed with 1 tbsp mayo
  • 2 slices mozzarella
  • Handful of arugula
  • 2 slices tomato
  • Balsamic glaze

Instructions
 

  • Toast sliced bread until golden.

  • Top with tomato, arugula, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Notes

Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
If using cold chicken, warm it slightly before adding to ensure the cheese melts properly.
Freshly cracked black pepper on the tomatoes adds a nice finish.
Use a high-quality balsamic glaze for the best "café" experience.
