This is also from installment #2 of my/Hira’s weekend cooking adventures (recipe adapted from here)! I would’ve loved to make the pesto from scratch, but we were trying to keep things simple and she already had store-bought pesto (pine nuts are expensive! :[ ), so we decided to go ahead and use that! One of the nurses at her preceptor’s office had homegrown yellow tomatoes and gave her a couple, so we decided to slice one up and add it to the sandwich. :D
Chicken Pesto Sandwich
- 2 cups shredded chicken breast
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 ginormous green tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup pesto (we used store-bought this time, but you can definitely make your own!)
- shredded mozzarella, to taste
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, pesto, Greek yogurt, salt, pepper and cheese. Mix and spread on bread.
- Serve with sliced tomatoes!

:D! I try to find all kinds of excuses to sub it in for other less-healthy ingredients. :P
