🕒 Ready In: 30 minutes (plus marinating time)

🛒 Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons Spiced Up by Chef Calvin – Tuscan Experience Seasoning

• Juice of 1 lemon

For the Sandwich:

• 1 fresh baguette, halved lengthwise and lightly toasted

• 2 cups Mediterranean salad mix (arugula, spinach, romaine)

• ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette (store-bought or homemade)

• Extra olive oil for brushing the bread

👨🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken
   In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, and Tuscan Experience seasoning. Add chicken breasts, coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

2. Grill the Chicken
   Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

3. Prepare the Baguette
   Lightly brush the cut side of the baguette with olive oil. Toast on the grill or under a broiler until golden brown.

4. Assemble the Sandwich
   On each toasted baguette half, layer:

• A handful of Mediterranean greens

• Sliced grilled chicken

• A drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette

• Crumbled feta cheese

5. Serve Immediately
   Garnish with extra herbs or lemon zest if desired. Enjoy open-faced or cut in half for easier serving.

🌟 Chef’s Tip

• Add sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or kalamata olives for extra Mediterranean flair.

• Swap baguette for naan or pita for a handheld version.
