Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- Halve the chicken breasts crosswise and pound each piece between two sheets of plastic wrap to an even thickness of about 3/4 inch. Toss the chicken pieces with the crushed red pepper, fennel seed, 1 tablespoon of the oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Brush the insides of the rolls with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
- Grill the chicken, turning once, until just cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes per side. During the last few minutes of cooking time, top each piece of chicken with a slice of mozzarella. Grill the rolls, oiled side down, until warmed and lightly charred, about 1 minute.
- Spread some pesto on the bottom halves of the rolls. Top with a slice of tomato, a piece of chicken, the remaining pesto and the top halves of the rolls.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees C (190 degrees C).

- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

- Turn oven to broil and broil tomatoes and cheese, until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. If desired, add ciabatta buns and toast under the broiler until browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place a chicken filet onto the ciabatta bun, top with tomato and melted mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon pesto.
