Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
2
Meanwhile, toast the whole wheat bread slices. You can either toast them on the grill for a few minutes or in a toaster.
3
Assemble the sandwich by placing a slice of toasted bread on a plate, followed by a few slices of grilled chicken, some fresh basil leaves, and finally another slice of bread. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
