How to make a Grilled Bruschetta Chicken Sandwich 

Begin by cutting up the fresh juicy tomatoes, basil and cloves of garlic. Combine them in a bowl then add in the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar. Mix them thoroughly until all of the ingredients are combined. For more flavor, you can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for some added citrus flavor or some red onion. Place in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve, this will be good until the next day. 

Heat your grill and get it set to a medium heat of 350° F. For this cook, I am using my Nomad Grill to grill the chicken over some hot charcoal. 

Next, season the chicken breasts with a garlic chicken rub. You can also use a blend of salt, pepper and garlic powder for this as an alternative. Place a MEATER Plus meat thermometer in the deepest part of the chicken breast. This will help ensure that the chicken is cooked to juicy perfection.

Once the grill is heated up, grill chicken over direct heat for 2-3 minutes each side. Once some char has formed, move it to cook indirectly for 10 minutes.

The last 3 minutes, place the fresh mozzarella on top of the chicken breast – you can also use parmesan cheese as an alternative. Once it reaches an internal temperature of 165° F remove it from the grill, place it on a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. 

Assemble the sandwich on toasted ciabatta and add the grilled chicken with the melty mozzarella cheese, fresh bruschetta topping, a drizzle of balsamic glaze then add the top of the bun. 

Slice it in half and enjoy!
