If you like pesto, you will LOVE this sandwich recipe! If you have not tried pesto, you are missing out! It is usually served on pasta or with bruschetta. The focaccia bread really adds a lot of flavor, but does add calories. The chicken salad would be good on any type of bread. My husband enjoyed it without the roasted red peppers, but I thought they added a little something.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
- 1/3 cup pesto sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (I used the bottled kind and it was fine.)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups cubed rotisserie- cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts (Canned chicken can be substituted.)
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 (1 lb) focaccia bread, cut in half horizontally, toasted, and cut into 20 slices
- 1 (12 ounce) bottled roasted red peppers, drained & chopped
- 10 romaine lettuce leaves
Directions:
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl and whisk together
- Add chicken and celery
- Assemble sandwich with bread, chicken salad, roasted red peppers and lettuce
