1
Prepare the Chicken
Shred or chop the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the chicken with pesto sauce until well coated.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
On one slice of ciabatta or sourdough bread, layer the chicken pesto mixture, followed by fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and basil leaves. Season with salt and black pepper.
3
Grill the Sandwich
Drizzle olive oil on the outside of the sandwich and place it on a preheated skillet or grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
4
Serve
Remove from heat, cut in half if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty chicken pesto sandwich!
