"These tasty Italian-inspired sandwiches will turn your kitchen into a cucina. Cooking with @theffeedfeed and @annieshomegrown, and channeling all the Italian getaway vibes, they’re loaded up with flavor from tender chicken breasts marinated in Annie's Balsamic Dressing. [#AD]
As you know, shortcuts in the kitchen are my BFF and I love tasty dressings. And that’s why I was so happy to partner with @annieshomegrown @feedfeed @wholefoods to bring this recipe to you.
So if you’re looking for something new and exciting to cook, you have to try these. Zesty, plant-based Annie’s Balsamic Dressing is the star of the show. It’s accompanied by a few other organic products I picked up at Whole Foods (where Annie's Dressings are 2/$6 from 8/12-8/25): creamy mozzarella, butter brioche buns, and beefsteak tomatoes. Basil is from my kitchen herb garden which is growing like crazy right now."

ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless, chicken breasts, halved
- 1/2 cup Annie's Organic Balsamic Dressing
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced `
- 4 brioche buns
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large beefsteak tomato, sliced thin
- 1 small bunch basil leaves
Method
Step 1
To a large bowl, add chicken breasts and ¼ cup Annie’s Balsamic Dressing. Completely coat the chicken with the dressing. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for one hour.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400°F Heat a large oven safe saute pan to medium-high on the stove. Add olive oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot and shiny, add chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sear each side of the chicken for about 3 minutes until golden brown on the outside. Then move chicken to the oven and bake it for about 3 minutes on each side until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F and it’s fully cooked throughout
Step 3
Set the oven broiler to high. Add a layer of fresh mozzarella to each piece of chicken breast and broil the chicken for about 3 minutes until the cheese is completely melted. Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Heat a large pan to medium on the stove and add butter. Once butter melts, add the brioche buns, insides facing down. Toast the buns about 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a cutting board.
Step 5
Spread the remaining Annie’s Balsamic Dressing on the inside of the toasted buns. Assemble sandwiches in this order: bottom bun, slice of tomato, balsamic chicken with melted mozzarella, fresh basil, top bun.
