Pesto Chicken and Artichoke Grilled Cheese Sandwich


This sandwich was originally created in a hobo pie maker over a camp fire at our friends' cabin. It was so delicious, I had to recreate it at home with my panini maker and my best gluten free bread. I have to tell you it was even better this time around.

So many great flavors: pesto, chicken, artichoke, mozzarella, butter, and the most amazing gluten free bread. It really is a fantastic sandwich. 

What You Will Need:
Panini Press or Saute Pan

Ingredients:
2 Slices Best Gluten Free Bread (Posted May 29, 2013)
1 Tablespoon Butter, room temperature
1 Tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Marinated Artichoke Hearts, chopped
1/2 Chicken Breast, cooked with pesto and sliced thin 

Directions:
Preheat Panini Press or Saute Pan over medium heat.

Butter one side of both pieces of bread.

Spread one piece of bread with pesto on the opposite side of the butter.

Place the piece of bread with pesto on it on the panini press with the butter side down. Spread mozzarella cheese on the bread.

Place the artichokes on the bread.

Place the chicken on the bread.

Put the other piece of bread on top of the chicken with the butter side up.

Close the panini press carefully. The sandwich is very thick, and will require some care not to squish all of the contents out. Keep the press closed for approximately 1 minute. You want the sandwich to be golden brown and all of the cheese to be melted.


Believe me, these pictures don't do this sandwich justice. It truly is spectacular!

Do you think it is possible to cuddle with a sandwich? I might just try. . .
