Cooking Steps
- Halve beefsteak tomatoes. Scoop out seeds and discard.
- Cut beefstack tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Add chopped tomatoes and brown sugar to a medium pot.
- Heat over medium-high heat. When boiling, reduce to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture starts to become saucy, 10-12 min.
- Stir in vinegar. Cook, stirring often, until jam thickens, 1-2 min.
- Remove from heat, then season with salt.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Carefully slice each chicken breast in half, parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have 4 pieces of chicken for 2 ppl and 8 pieces for 4 ppl.)
- Season with 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt, salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed.) Cook until golden-brown and cooked through, 5-7 min per side.**
- Transfer to a plate, cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, trim ends off of broccolini, then cut any larger stalks in half lengthwise, leaving thinner stalks whole.
- Prick baby tomatoes with a fork. Add baby tomatoes and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Tear or cut bocconcini into 1/2-inch pieces. Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
- Halve buns, then spread half the garlic spread over cut sides.
- Add broccolini and 1/4 cup water to the same pan over medium-high. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil and 1/4 cup water per batch.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min.
- Add remaining garlic spread and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) chili flakes, if desired. Cook, stirring often, until garlic spread coats broccolini, 1 min.
- Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, arrange buns on an unlined baking sheet, cut-sides up.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 1-2 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!) Transfer to a clean surface.
- Once buns are toasted, arrange broccolini in a single layer on the same unlined baking sheet. Sprinkle Parmesan over top, then top with baby tomatoes.
- Broil, in the middle of the oven, until Parmesan melts and tomatoes blister, 4-5 min.
- Season arugula and spinach mix with a bit of oil, salt and pepper.
- Divide chicken between buns.
- Top with tomato jam, then bocconcini and arugula and spinach mix.
- Divide sandwiches and veggies between plates.
