grilled chicken breast ciabatta w/ pesto mayo~robynne
I am always looking for new ways to prepare my family's favorite foods and this sandwich really does it for us. I slipped in whole grain Ciabattas, grilled chicken breasts, Swiss cheese, bacon, tomatoes, avocados, and topped it off with bold pesto mayo. Disclaimer: I have always used recipes as a guide and use my instincts and experience to alter ingredients as I cook. Therefore, it has always been a challenge when sharing recipes with others. I doubt I make dishes the same way twice. So, I advise you to use my recipes the same way. Trust your experience and adjust to your personal taste.
