My Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich with Pickled Strawberries could not be any more delicious. This sandwich is bakery-level quality yet comes together in no time at all thanks to a few store-bought ingredients. Here, soft ciabatta rolls are piled high with perfectly brined rotisserie chicken, spicy arugula, delicately sweet microgreens, tangy aged cheddar cheese and acidic yet subtly sweet Pickled Strawberries. This sandwich hits all the right flavors and textures and will leave you completely satisfied. It’s a perfect workday lunch or light dinner on those evenings when it’s just too darn hot to cook.

Next, cut the breast meat off of one store-bought rotisserie chicken, then slice it into thin medallions against the grain. Set aside. Wash a handful of fresh arugula and a handful of microgreens and set aside. Next, thinly slice enough cheddar cheese for four sandwiches. Set aside.
To assemble a sandwich, spread one tablespoon of mayonnaise on half a toasted ciabatta roll. Top with slices of cheese then chicken, followed by a healthy serving of arugula and microgreens. Spoon on a few slices of pickled strawberries, then add the top bun. Repeat for the three other sandwiches. Serve immediately and enjoy!
