ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1⁄4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 4 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless (about 1 lb. total)
- 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
- 1⁄4 cup roasted red pepper, drained and chopped
- 4 ciabatta rolls, split (about 4 oz. each)
- 2 cups arugula
directions
- Mix oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoons salt, the spices, garlic and cilantro together in a medium bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade. Add chicken to bowl, turning to coat evenly. Let chicken marinate, chilled, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Blend mayo, red peppers and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Chill until ready to use.
- Prepare grill for high heat. Brush bottom halves of each roll with 1 teaspoons of reserved marinade mixture. Cook chicken, turning once, until grill marks appear and meat is cooked through, 7-10 minutes. Grill rolls, cut side down, until warmed and grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Let both cool.
- To assemble: Set 1 chicken thigh on bottom half of a roll. Spread 2 tablespoons mayo onto cut side of top half. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup arugula and set top of roll on chiclen. Repeat for rest of sandwiches.

Excellent! I only had time to marinate my chicken for 30 minutes, but those flavors still infused themselves. Great flavor. I also really loved brushing the buns with the olive oil mixture and grilling them. The roasted red pepper mayo was delicious and I'm glad I have some left over to use for sandwiches. Thank you!
