So the other day while I was browsing FoodPornDaily.com, I came across the most delicious looking sandwich of my life. They don’t include recipes on that site, but it looked like it included pesto, chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil leaves. Heaven.
I decided to experiment this weekend and here was the result:
Pesto chicken with basil, bacon, and cheese
And here’s how you can indulge in the most delicious sandwich EVER!
1 chicken breast
2 teaspoons store bought pesto
3 slices of bacon, cooked
2-3 sun-dried tomatoes
8-10 fresh basil leaves
4 thin slices of fresh mozzarella
2 slices hearty whole grain bread
1. Place your chicken breast in a ziplock bag. Add the pesto and let your chicken marinate in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. When it’s done, cook it however you’d like (I threw mine on the Foreman grill).
2. Lay out your bread and start stacking your sandwich. Cheese, basil, bacon, tomatoes, chicken. Butter the top slice of your bread and put it butter side down into a hot skillet. While that side is heating, butter the other slice of bread. Flip the sandwich (like grilled cheese) so both sides are nice and crispy.
3. Cut in half and indulge.
