PESTO CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES | RECIPES | WW USA
These upscale chicken salad sandwiches are a breeze to make since they use prepared pesto and leftover or rotisserie chicken breasts. Adding mayonnaise and yogurt to the store-bought pesto gives it a creamy, tangy flavor that's to-die-for on a sandwich. All you have to do is top slices of wheat bread with peppery arugula, plum tomato slices, then pile on the chicken salad. Feel free to use your favorite greens if you don't particularly enjoy arugula, or substitute slices of beefsteak tomatoes if they're ripe and in season. Regardless, one bite of this, and you'll never go back to plain ol' chicken sandwiches again.

  • 1. Make the Pesto: Add the basil, Parmesan, olive oil, almond butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic to the bowl of a blender or food processor; season with salt and pepper. Pulse until blended and creamy. The pesto can be made a week in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. 2. Make the Chicken: Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, place the chicken in a freezer bag and pound flat until it's about ?-inch thick. Cut each breast into four equal parts; season with salt and pepper. Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, flipping once, until a meat thermometer reads 165?F, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board. 3. Assemble the Pancakes: Cut the focaccia into four even pieces. Using a serrated bread knife, carefully cut each piece horizontally in half. Liberally spread the bottom halves with the pesto. Top with the feta, sun-dried tomatoes, greens, chicken and top halves of the focaccia. Working in batches, place the sandwiches in the pan and cook on each side until toasted, about 1 minute per side.
