Pesto Chicken Sandwich
We use leftover grilled chicken and basil pesto to make a quick, easy, summer sandwich. We were all out of salad greens, but a little salad would have been nice in the sandwiches too. Originally served as part of: Pesto Chicken Sandwich.
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sesame Semolina bread
- 2 pieces leftover grilled chicken
- 2 tablespoons basil pesto
- 1 medium home-grown tomato (sliced and lightly salted on paper towels)
- salt & pepper
Instructions
We begin by lightly toasting our bread. Next we spread all 4 of the slices with half the pesto and place each chicken piece on a slice of toast. We top each chicken piece with the rest of the pesto, tomato slices, salt, pepper, and bread. We slice the sandwiches in half and enjoy!

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
Lightly toast the bread.
