Notes

For a more flavorful sandwich, you can marinate the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least an hour before grilling. Additionally, using fresh, high-quality mozzarella and ripe tomatoes will enhance the taste significantly. If you prefer a crispier sandwich, you can press it slightly on the grill pan before serving.
