Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by preheating your grill or oven to medium heat. Dice the woodfire chicken into small pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Melt

    On one slice of multigrain bread, spread 1 tablespoon of pesto sauce. Layer with diced woodfire chicken, followed by sliced hatch green chile, and a generous amount of mozzarella cheese. Top with another slice of bread.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down lightly with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the cheese is melted and the bread is golden, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute, slice in half, and serve warm.
