Chicken Pesto Sandwiches Tips
What other kinds of cheese would work well on a chicken pesto sandwich?
If you can't find fresh mozzarella, you can use regular mozzarella or provolone slices. However, we'd recommend going out of your way to pick up some fresh mozzarella, because it makes all the difference! Out of Ciabatta? Use sourdough instead! Fresh tomato makes a great substitute for roasted red pepper.
What can you serve with chicken pesto sandwiches?
Chicken pesto sandwiches go wonderfully with sweet potato fries,
roasted vegetables or even a side dish like
summer garden couscous that's full of sweet corn, cucumbers and feta cheese. Otherwise, crunchy
air-fryer potato chips would be perfect, too.
What's the best way to reheat a chicken pesto sandwich?
Chicken pesto sandwiches are best assembled right before serving. But if you do make them ahead, you can skip toasting the Ciabatta right away and throw the whole sandwich in a
panini press later. This chicken pesto sandwich would taste just as good cold, too! Check out other
caprese recipes similar to this one.
