1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.
2
Grill the Chicken
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest.
3
Slice the Chicken
Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips.
4
Prepare the Sandwich
On one slice of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of pesto. Layer with grilled chicken, then add mozzarella slices, lettuce leaves, and slices of tomato.
5
Assemble
Top with another slice of bread. Optionally, spread more pesto on the top slice before closing the sandwich.
6
Grill the Sandwich
Optional: Place the assembled sandwich back on the grill or in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side to melt the cheese and toast the bread.
7
Serve
Cut the sandwich in half and serve warm.
