Chicken Caprese
Sandwich
Be the Xrst to rate & review!

This chicken caprese sandwich has all the


classic flavors of a caprese salad with an added
boost of protein from grilled chicken. Using
store-bought grilled chicken makes assembly
quick and easy. This sandwich for one is made
in a skillet, but would work equally well in a
panini press if you have one on hand.

Step 2

Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter over 1 bread slice


and place on a cutting board, butter-side
down. Spread half of the pesto mixture on the
bread; top with mozzarella, chicken, tomato
and basil. Spread the remaining pesto mixture
on the remaining bread slice and place, pesto-

seconds per side. Slice the sandwich in half
diagonally and serve warm.
