7. Grilled Chicken Sandwiches
Instead of mayo, swap in a nutrient-packed spread, like this homemade pesto.
Herby homemade pesto adds so much flavor, you don’t need many more ingredients to make these sandwiches great.
Ingredients
4 thin chicken cutlets
1/2 c. One-Step Classic Pesto, divided
8 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 small ciabatta rolls, split
1 large ripe tomato, sliced
Directions
Heat grill to medium. Coat chicken with 1/4 cup pesto and grill 2 minutes. Flip cutlets, top with tomato and mozzarella and grill, covered, until chicken is cooked through and mozzarella has melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Grill bread until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush with remaining 1/4 cup pesto and make sandwich with chicken and tomatoes.
