Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The sandwich itself is a crowd-pleaser — pesto, fresh mozzarella, and chicken come together beautifully for a restaurant-quality bite.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to pull together, this one consistently impresses even picky eaters at the table.
- Suggestions: Add mayo if the bread feels dry, and be careful not to overcook the thin chicken cutlets. Some reviewers preferred tossing the balsamic glaze directly on the arugula in the sandwich rather than serving it as a side salad.
- Leftovers: Waiting too long to make it can leave the salad soggy, so cook it fresh for the best results.
- Bread: Several customers found the ciabatta too thick, absorbing the pesto and making the sandwich dry — a lighter or thinner bread could help balance the flavors.
- Arugula salad: Many customers skipped or disliked the arugula balsamic side, but agreed the sandwich alone more than makes up for it.
Reviews from our home cooks
I really hate the arugula salad, but HOT DAMN this sandwich is SO GOOD! This is in my top 5 recipes. If I see this as an option, I select it.
We love the ciabatta bread- it's a real "treat". The chicken is tasty and well spiced; I really like the addition of pesto. If I get this again, I'll add cooked onion.
The pesto was an excellent flavor choice. Remember the cutlets are thin, be careful not to overcook them. Totally enjoyed this recipe!
These were delicious! Only thing I would change would be the bread. I feel it needs a lighter, thinner bread.
Yum! Makes like 3 1⁄2 small sandwiches, though. But enough arugula for an army
Omg these recipes are seriously getting better and better. This was a good one both my husband and I loved it.
Very tasty!!! Also easy to put together even for my husband
Took significantly longer than 15 minutes to prepare. Chicken would need to come pre-cooked to make this a 15 minute meal.
Did not fix right away like over a week, and the salad got soggy. Rest of sandwich was delicious. As good as expected and so easy and quick to fix. Next time I won't wait so long to fix.
Threw out the bread bc I'm GF. Used my own bread. Didn't use the balsamic. Everything else was very good, chicken, pesto, mozzarella, arugula.
