Chicken Caprese Ciabatta

I don't post much about my food.  I enjoy cooking and I really enjoy when something I experiment with turns out so yummy.

I had a caprese sandwich at Jason's Deli a couple of months ago and have been craving them since.  I finally decided to make one for myself tonight.  With a tiny change (I added the chicken to get some more protein in there).

Ingredients are:

Take & Bake Ciabatta Roll from La Brea Bakery
Thin sliced boneless, skinless chicken breast (sauteed with salt & pepper)
Basil Pesto spread
Tomato slices
Baby spinach
Fresh Mozzarella (sliced)

I cut the ciabatta roll in half and spread a thin layer of basil pesto on each side.  Then I layered the mozzarella, tomato slices, spinach and chicken breast.  It would be perfect on a panini press but I don't have one so I wrapped it in foil and put it in the oven for about 10 minutes.

I entered the recipe in My Fitness Pal and it tells me it is 616 calories for 1 sandwich.  A bit high but so very yummy and satisfying.
