DIRECTIONS
To prepare the chicken, put chicken breasts and all marinade ingredients in a gallon-sized zipper storage bag. Shake to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight. Prepare apple slaw about 30 minutes prior to cooking chicken. Combine apples, cilantro, scallions, carrots, and Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together remaining slaw ingredients to make dressing.
Pour dressing over apple-vegetable mix and toss together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Using a frying pan or grill over medium-high heat, cook the chicken with marinade for about three minutes per side until charred on the outside and the internal temperature reaches 165oF. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice ciabatta rolls in half, brush both sides with olive oil, and grill for one minute. Assemble sandwiches with grilled chicken topped with apple slaw. Serve immediately.
