Method

Slice the chicken breast horizontally into two thin cutlets so it is done quickly. Rub with the oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, about 200 to 230°C (400 to 450°F).
Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes per side, until it reaches 74°C (165°F). Rest 3 minutes and slice.
Toast the bread on the grill for 1 minute per side.
Spread with pesto and layer the chicken, mozzarella, sliced tomato and basil. Drizzle with the balsamic and close the sandwiches.
