Directions
Into large skillet set over medium-high heat, add oil. Add chicken and cook, turning once, for 4 to 6 minutes or until starting to brown. Using fork, transfer to plate.
Add green pepper, red pepper and onion to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until starting to soften. Stir in Roasted Chicken Base and 1/3 cup water. Return chicken to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Spread 1 tbsp pesto on each toasted ciabatta bun bottom. Arrange chicken, green pepper, red pepper and onion over pesto. Top with mozzarella and arugula, dividing evenly. Cap with ciabatta bun tops.
Tip: Alternatively, toss chicken, halved bell peppers and onion cut into rounds with Roasted Chicken Base and 2 tbsp olive oil; grill over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, turning once, for 6 to 10 minutes or until chicken is well-marked and cooked through. Cook vegetables, turning once, for 4 to 6 minutes or until lightly charred and tender; slice before serving.
