with Arugula Balsamic Salad & Fresh Mozzarella
To make these supremely satisfying sandwiches, you’ll sear garlicky chicken cutlets in a hot pan and top with pesto and fresh mozzarella, then tuck them into chewy ciabatta rolls with ripe tomato slices and fresh, peppery arugula. Serve with an arugula side salad tossed with balsamic and sprinkled with Parmesan for a speedy, scrumptious meal.
