Chicken Pesto Baguette
Need a simple, quick and nutritious lunch idea? This open-faced sandwich is it! It goes well with some baby carrots, fruit or salad on the side. This recipe is a spin off of the Open Chicken & Pesto Sandwich recipe on the Centr app.
Serves: 2
Time: 10-15 mins
Ingredients
- 1/2 baguette, cut length-wise into a 6 inch portion (whole wheat is preferred)
- 1 (12.5 oz) can chicken (I prefer Costco brand)
- 1/2 cup pesto of choice (basil or tomato pesto)
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese
- 8-10 leaves of arugula, spinach or basil
Method
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven broiler and set the rack to the top position. Or, use the broiler function in your air fryer oven.
- Mix the Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the pesto and chicken. Slather the chicken mixture on top of each piece of baguette.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the cheese on top of the chicken.
- Broil: Place the baguettes in the oven and broil for about 5 mins, until the cheese is melted and the chicken is warmed.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with your leaves of choice and enjoy!
