Grilled Chicken Pesto Sandwich
- 2 whole Chicken Breasts, Boneless, Skinless, Sliced In Half, Horizontally
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 whole Loaf Of French Bread, Grilled
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Fresh Pesto
- 4 slices Provolone Cheese
- 1/2 cups Fresh Garden Tomatoes, Sliced
- Begin by warming up your clean grill on a medium-high heat.
- Season each sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper.
- Measure the size of your chicken breast, or just wing it and eye it, and cut your loaf of bread into the size of the breasts.
- Slice loaf in half, and smear a bit of light butter on the interior of each slice.
- Get the chicken on the grill, and grill each side for about 5 minutes.
- Once cooked, lower the heat, lather the top of each chicken with a generous amount of pesto, and top with the provolone cheese.
- Let the cheese melt.
- During this time, add the bread to the grill, butter side down, and get it just slightly toasted.
- Remove bread from grill, add the chicken, and top with the fresh tomato slices.
- The end result is a perfect balance of freshness of the pesto, the melted cheese, and the crunch of the bread.
- A sandwich that yields a perfect farewell to summer, and a hello to fall.
