Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Salt and black pepper

  • 1 10 inch rosemary or garlic Italian flatbread (focaccia)

  • 1 recipe Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Spread

  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach or small romaine lettuce leaves

  • ½ of a medium red onion, thinly sliced

Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Spread

  • 4 ounce soft goat cheese (chèvre)

  • ¼ cup bottled roasted red sweet pepper

  • 1 teaspoon bottled roasted pepper liquid

  • 1 teaspoon snipped fresh rosemary

Directions

  1. Place each chicken piece between plastic wrap and pound with flat side of a meat mallet until 1/2 inch thick. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a small bowl combine the next four ingredients (through garlic); pour over chicken. Seal bag; turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.

  2. Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Lightly sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add chicken (in batches if necessary); cook 9 to 11 minutes or until done (165°F), turning once. Remove from pan.

  3. Meanwhile, cut flatbread into four wedges; cut in half horizontally. Add bread, cut sides down, to grill pan; cook 2 minutes or until toasted.

  4. Spread toasted sides of bread wedges with Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Spread. Layer chicken, spinach, and red onion between wedges.
