Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar provides a sweet and tangy depth to the marinade
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil adds richness to the marinade and vinaigrette
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard introduces a pleasant tang

For the Cheese
  • 4 slices provolone cheese melty and creamy
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese guarantees that gooey texture
For the Bread

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the marinade and let rest for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Slice provolone and mozzarella cheese. Brush the insides of the rolls lightly with olive oil.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan. Place a slice of provolone on each roll, add marinated chicken, sprinkle with basil and thyme, and close the sandwich.
  4. Cover grill and cook sandwiches for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown.
  5. Remove from grill, let rest for 1-2 minutes, then cut diagonally and serve hot.
