  4. Let marinate in the fridge at least 30 minutes.

How to know when grilled chicken is fully cooked?

The best safety measure is to use a instant read thermometer to check the middle of the chicken. The perfect internal temperature will read 165F. And another measure is to do a little cut into the middle to check that it's almost opaque in the center and clear juices run from it.

Ciabatta Bread Substitutes:

Any Artisan French Breads will do fine, such as a baguette or hearty whole wheat loaf. I just recommend toasting it so you have that nice balance of a crunch factor.
