Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 chicken cutlet (Aldi’s red bag Chicken Breast Filets)
  • 1 tbsp pesto
  • 2 tbsp marinara sauce
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan
  • 2 slices mozzarella (or a handful shredded)
  • 1 ciabatta bun
  • 1 dash basil or arugula (optional)
  • 1 drizzle balsamic (optional)

Method
 

  1. Air fry or bake the chicken until hot and crispy.
  1. Toast the ciabatta bun lightly, then spread pesto on the bottom half.
  1. Sprinkle grated parmesan directly on top of the bread, then layer on the chicken cutlet.
  1. Spoon marinara sauce over the chicken, then top with mozzarella.
  1. Toast or broil the sandwich until the cheese melts and turns golden.

Notes

  • The Aldi Chicken cutlets say to air fry for 20 minutes, but they typically only take about 10 minutes. Watch them closely to avoid overcooking.
