INGREDIENTS
3 ounces grilled Chicken Breast
2 ounces Fresh Mozzarella
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
1 tablespoon Tomato-Basil Pesto
1 medium Tomato, sliced
1/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper, then grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, slice the chicken thinly.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on the grill pan until just crisp on the edges.
Spread the tomato-basil pesto evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Layer the sliced grilled chicken on one slice of bread, followed by slices of fresh mozzarella and tomato.
Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the tomato slices.
Top with the remaining slice of bread, pesto side down, and press gently to create a cohesive melt.
Optional: For an extra melty finish, heat the assembled sandwich in a panini press or back in the grill pan for 2-3 minutes until the mozzarella softens.
