Prep 15 min · Cook 10 min

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, half the dried basil, half the salt, and half the pepper. Toss the chicken cutlets in the mixture and let sit for 10 minutes.
Heat half the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and wipe the skillet clean. Done when 165°F.
Brush the outside of the bread slices with the remaining olive oil. Place one slice in the skillet, oil-side down. Layer on the mozzarella, cooked chicken, tomato, fresh basil, and the rest of the dried seasonings. Top with the second bread slice, oil-side up. Grill over medium heat until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
