Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
4 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless (about 1 lb. total)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup roasted red pepper, drained and chopped
4 ciabatta rolls, split (about 4 oz. each)
2 cups arugula

Steps:

  • Mix oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoons salt, the spices, garlic and cilantro together in a medium bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade. Add chicken to bowl, turning to coat evenly. Let chicken marinate, chilled, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Blend mayo, red peppers and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Chill until ready to use.
  • Prepare grill for high heat. Brush bottom halves of each roll with 1 teaspoons of reserved marinade mixture. Cook chicken, turning once, until grill marks appear and meat is cooked through, 7-10 minutes. Grill rolls, cut side down, until warmed and grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Let both cool.
  • To assemble: Set 1 chicken thigh on bottom half of a roll. Spread 2 tablespoons mayo onto cut side of top half. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup arugula and set top of roll on chiclen. Repeat for rest of sandwiches.
