To Make It In The Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Slice tomatoes in ½ inch thick slices. Lay them out on a large plate.
Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice and balsamic vinegar.
Lay the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Spread each slice with one tablespoon of mayo.
Top it off with slices of tomatoes, a few leaves of fresh basil, sliced chicken, and 3-4 slices of fresh mozzarella.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
To Make It On The Grill
Light a grill set to high or prepare a grill pan on the stove and heat to medium-high heat.
Drizzle chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the grill or grill pan. Cook 5-6 minutes on each side or until it registers 165 degrees F when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast.
Transfer the chicken on to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Slice in 1-inch thick slices. Set aside.
Meanwhile, toast the bread on the grill (if preferred).
Slice tomatoes in ½ inch thick slices. Lay them out on a large plate. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice and balsamic vinegar.
Spread each slice of bread with one tablespoon of mayo.
Top it off with slices of tomatoes, sliced chicken, a few leaves of fresh basil, and 3-4 slices of fresh mozzarella.
If preferred, put it back on the grill and grill until the cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
