The Ultimate Organic American Club Sandwich 🥪✨

1. Pesto: In a mortar and pestle or a small blender, combine the arugula, nuts, Parmesan, and olive oil. Blend until you have a smooth green pesto.

2. Chicken: Slice the chicken breast lengthwise into two thinner cutlets. Rub them lightly with oil and coat with the spice blend (paprikas, garlic, ginger, thyme, salt, and pepper).

3. Searing: Place a sheet of parchment paper on a preheated skillet. Place the chicken on the paper and sear without additional fat until the meat is juicy and fully cooked through.

4. Bread: Toast the bread slices in a skillet (you can use the same one after removing the parchment). Place the mozzarella on two of the slices. Cover the pan briefly to melt the cheese and brown the bottom of the bread. Toast the third slice (the middle layer) until crispy without any cheese.

5. Assembly:

a. On the first slice with melted cheese, layer the lettuce, arugula, tomato slices, cucumber, and half of the chicken.

b. Top with the middle crispy slice and spread a generous layer of the prepared pesto over it.

c. Layer the remaining vegetables, pickled onion, and the rest of the chicken on top of the pesto.

d. Close the sandwich with the final slice of cheesy bread.

6. Serving: Gently press the sandwich down with your hand, cut diagonally into two triangles, and serve with the remaining pesto on the side.
