Who doesn’t like a good sandwich? I have to say I enjoy a GOOD sandwich and having fresh pesto on hand takes it to the next level! I recently went to my local market and had fresh veggies to include in this sandwich as well. Avocado would have been a nice addition as well.
Whole Grain Chicken Pesto Sandwich
This sandwich couldn't get any better with the fresh pesto.
Ingredients
- 2 whole grain flat buns
- 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced
- few slices red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and sliced
Spread:
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp homemade pesto
Instructions
- Cook or grill chicken breast, once cooled, slice evenly for sandwich.
- Slice and prepare vegetables and set aside. Mix together mayo and homemade pesto.
- Assemble sandwich, by spreading pesto on buns and add vegetables. I found by adding another layer of pesto next to the chicken, it helped to keep everything in place.
- Slice sandwich diagonally, and add a salad or potato chips as a side.
