This chicken sandwich recipe is a total crowd-pleaser. That’s mostly thanks to the slightly sweet roasted red peppers, meaty marinated artichokes, and tangy olives. Each antipasto boasts its own unique flavor, but put them together and the combination is mouthwatering!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the antipasto ingredients are classic, the sweet and spicy homemade aioli<\/a> really brings this chicken sandwich over the top. A classic lemon and garlic aioli gets a little twist from sundried tomatoes and pinch of red chili flakes. Spread some on both halves for a little extra oomph–the simple yet delicious condiment elevates this chicken sandwich with a layer of irresistible flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, lean chicken breasts are infused with a punchy marinade and pan-seared until golden brown and tender. Spicy arugula and aromatic basil are added in the final moments for freshness, and it’s all placed between pillowy bread with a flaky crust. It’s pretty much heaven—if heaven were a sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Food Stories: History of Antipasto<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The word antipasto simply means “before the meal.” The concept can be traced back to medieval Italy, where the largest meal of the day began with bite-sized foods—usually at room temperature—meant to entice the appetite and prepare diners for the subsequent courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These small bites traditionally consisted of cured meats, marinated vegetables, fermented fruits, and an assortment of cheeses and breads. In fact, if you travel to Venice, you’ll still see cicchetti<\/em>, a version of antipasto, at local bacari<\/em> (little wine and snack bars). Small portions of these traditional foods are precariously piled on little rounds of fresh bread like Foccacia<\/a> or Bruschetta<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In medieval times, Gondoliers and merchants would pull up alongside the canals, throw back a few cicchetti along with a glass of wine and be on their way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you’d like, you could easily slice these sandwiches into small portions and serve them as appetizers. Or, halve them and eat them with a side salad<\/a>, which tastes particularly delicious al fresco on a sunny day!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
