Discover the caprese-style sandwich, a perfect fusion of chicken, Gouda cheese and a touch of fresh basil. Quick and easy to prepare with no cooking involved, this sandwich will transport you to Italy with every bite. The perfect choice for a quick meal bursting with flavour!
- Prepare your workspace by placing the cut ciabatta buns in front of you. Generously spread one side of each bun with basil pesto and the other side with mayonnaise.
- Place the slices of Gouda cheese on the pesto-coated sides, then add a layer of lettuce for freshness and crunch.
- Add the tomato and basil flavoured chicken slices to the bed of lettuce, and top with juicy tomato slices. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and salt and pepper to bring out the flavours. Finish with a few fresh basil leaves for a herbaceous note.
- Close sandwiches with mayonnaise-coated bread halves, pressing lightly to bind ingredients together. Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.

For a doubly delicious experience, enjoy this sandwich two ways: served fresh with same-day ciabatta or toasted the next day. Each version offers a unique flavour experience and gives you the choice between a fresh and chewy or crispier sandwich. A true 2-in-1 gourmet sandwich!
