What ciabatta rolls do I use for this sandwich?
I get the ciabatta rolls from Trader Joes.
Here’s a picture of the ciabatta rolls.
Trader Joe’s also sells French rolls that are 130 calories or 4 personalpoints, if you aren’t able to find the ciabatta rolls.
I like to use my homemade pesto sauce or Trader Joe’s Pesto all Genovese mixed with light Kraft Mayo for the creamy pesto sauce. This pesto sauce is 2 points per 1 Tbsp.
Ingredients:
- 1 ( 4 oz.) boneless, skinless, chicken thinly sliced chicken breast
- Season with your favorite chicken seasoning like paprika, garlic powder, seasoned salt ect. (I use Daks original red seasoning.)
- 1 Tbsp pesto sauce ( I use my homemade pesto sauce or Trader Joe’s Pesto alla Genovese)
- 1 Tbsp light mayonnaise ( I use light Kraft mayonnaise)
- 2 slices of red onion
- 1 ciabatta roll ( I use Trader Joe’s 3 or 5 point ciabatta roll)
Directions:
- Season and grill chicken breast in a cast iron grill or outdoor grill. (I use this cast iron grill)
- Grill chicken until it’s no longer pink.
- Slice ciabatta rolls and place in toaster.
- In a small mixing bowl combine pesto and mayo. Stir until both ingredients have been incorporated.
- Spread pesto mayo on toasted ciabatta and add onion and grilled chicken

The next time you pick up the Ciabatta Rolls at TJ's, can you please insert a picture? I've been searching high and low for these 4sp rolls and I just can't locate them. Perhaps if I have a picture to take with me, they will know what I'm looking for? I can only hope. Thank you. Making this over the weekend and will use 2sp hamburger rolls that I'll toast.
