• 6 scrunch up proscuitto, and place on top of chicken.
• 7 top with other slice of bread.
• 8 brush top with a little olive oil, evenly and thinly.
• 9 place sandwich, olive oiled side-down onto hot pan.
• 10 brush top lightly with more olive oil.
• 11 press lightly once with spatula.
• 12 grill/cook about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how hot your pan is. check to see for yourself. you want it lightly toasted with nice grill marks.
• 13 with your spatula, lift up a corner and hold it up with your fingers. then slip the spatula underneath, and turn over carefully.
• 14 brown other side the same way, and remove to cutting surface.
• 15 cut in half diagonally and enjoy!
• 16 *note: any kind of chicken that you happen to have on hand works fine for this, such as leftover roasted, rotisserie, grilled, baked or stewed. nice way to use up some leftovers and not feel like they're "leftover". leftover turkey can be subbed as well.
• 17 *also, the amount of chicken is just approximate. make your sandwich how you like it using as much or little as you want.
• 18 don't have proscuitto? that's ok, subbing a thin slice or 2 of any kind of ham is just fine. ;).
