Ingredients:

Serving

4 large basil leaves
1 bunch fresh basil (*fresh* basil only !)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp aged balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 wide slices ciabatta
1 heirloom tomato , cut into 4 slices

Directions:

Heat grill to HIGH (450 degrees to 550 degrees). Note: I used a stove top grill pan to prepare the chicken.
Set aside 4 large basil leaves.
Combine the mayonnaise, remaining basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in a mini-food processor. Process until smooth.
If using chicken breasts, cut each breast in half. Place each chicken breast (or thigh) between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until the pieces are 1/4-inch thick.
Grill chicken, basting each side with the basil-mayonnaise mixture, turning the the chicken pieces as needed until they are cooked through and well browned, approximately 8 minutes.
Brush one side of bread with a little bit of the basil-mayonnaise mixture; grill bread approximately 1 minute on both sides.
Place a chicken breast on the basil-mayonnaise side of the bread. Top each sandwich with a tomato slice and basil leaf.
Serve the remaining basil-mayonnaise on the side.
Serving suggestion: fresh corn on the cob and a simple mixed fruit salad (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and watermelon.).
