Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 ciabatta buns, sliced

1. Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

8. Assemble the sandwiches by placing a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each ciabatta bun.
9. Top with chopped sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and arugula.
10. Finish by placing the top half of the ciabatta bun on each sandwich.
