Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Slice mozzarella into rounds. • Slice tomato into rounds; season with salt and pepper.
• Pat chicken* dry; slice crosswise. Place in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add half the creamy balsamic dressing (all for 4) and turn to coat. • Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. • In the last minute of cooking, carefully top chicken with sliced mozzarella; cover pan until cheese melts. TIP: While chicken cooks, move on to the next step!
• In a second large bowl, toss arugula with half the balsamic glaze, a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Halve and toast ciabattas.
• Spread cut sides of ciabatta halves with as much mayonnaise as you like. Place chicken on bottom ciabatta halves; top with tomato and drizzle with as much remaining balsamic glaze as you like. Close sandwiches. • Gently crush croutons in bag. • Top salad with croutons and walnuts; serve alongside sandwiches.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Whenever we see a meal incorporating balsamic glaze, we almost always order it--it's such a delicious ingredient! This was easy to make and quite tasty!
I initially regretted ordering this when I realized that it is So not tomato season. But they actually turned out great! The tomatoes were on the decent side as far as winter tomatoes go, and the pepper helped make up for the lack of super tasty tomato flavor. And the balsamic glaze was soo delicious!!
Nice large salad portions as a side were great. And plenty of mozzarella for the sandwiches.
I don't love the buns but the chicken and salad is delicious! We added a little extra seasoning to the chicken. The salad is so yummy too with the walnuts and croutons. We will definitely do this one again.
Marinated the chicken overnight then cooked it the next day. It was so juicy and tender. Would recommend this meal
I cooked the chicken in the air fryer and the ciabatta buns and it was awesome!
This was probably the best meal I've had from hello fresh. There was actual veggies and overall fairly healthy. Most meals are packed with carbs and fatty meats
Easy to make and very tasty. Filling too! This meal for 2 could have been for 4!!!
It is a very good meal. First, there are no further instructions for the balsamic dressing. So I just added it to the salads. Second, a bigger tomato would be great. I received a small bleached roma. Other than that, it was good, but the arugula was too bitter for me.
I've made this again for lunch - super easy and very delicious
