Preparation

Preheat your grill to medium-low heat, around 275°F.
Pound the chicken tenders to an even thickness, then toss with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Slice the sweet mini peppers in half and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Cut the ciabatta rolls in half lengthwise and brush with olive oil.

Grilling

Grill the chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Add the mini peppers to the grill, cooking until tender and with char marks, about 5-7 minutes.
Toast the ciabatta halves on the grill for 30-60 seconds until golden.

Assembly

Layer arugula, grilled peppers, chicken, and burrata on a ciabatta half, then drizzle with hot honey.
Top with the other ciabatta half and serve immediately.
