Chicken Pesto Sandwiches
These easy sandwiches are great for game day! They’re tasty, and also so easy to prep ahead and assemble later at the event. Colleen Sturma — Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Wow! Simply delicious. I grilled mine in a cast iron pan.. Great for a rainy day. Go Seahawks
I cheated and used deli chicken breast slices so I wouldn't have to turn on my oven. Turned out delicious anyways!
Loved the flavor of the chicken. We did indoors on a grill pan instead of the outdoor grill. Used pre-packaged mozzarella slices rather than fresh mozzarella.
These were delicious!! The only thing I did differently was after I assembled the sandwiches I grilled them again instead of making the toast. My family went crazy over these!
I make paninis like this. Even better than the toasted bread. In a pinch I use the Carving Board turkey or chicken with bacon, the peppers and either the purchased pesto or some fresh basil leaves. Awesome flavor.
I'm not a fan of PESTO. Any suggestions for substitutions?
The best chicken sandwich ever!
