Instructions

If using leftovers or rotisserie chicken, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. For added flavor, marinate your chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper before cooking.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken and pesto sauce. Mix until every morsel is well coated.

Take two slices of artisan bread and layer one side with half of the chicken-pesto mixture. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese on top. Optionally add sliced tomatoes or spinach before placing the second slice of bread on top.

In a large skillet, add olive oil or butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and toast the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Once cooked, let the sandwich cool for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve with chips or a salad.
