Grilled Chicken Pesto Melt

I realize it’s January and not everyone wants copious amounts of bacon, cheese, waffles, tater tots—you know, the usual suspects that make frequent appearances here.

With that in mind, I decided a more “lean” option is a must for some when it comes to game day eats. Yeah, as promised, I’m still on my Super Bowl food week, so let’s do this Grilled Chicken Pesto Melt.

It’s super easy and something you can throw together during half time, especially if you grill your chicken ahead of time. From there, layer that lean cut of meat between White Bread Done Right from Dave’s Killer Bread and then spread pesto on it and give it a slice of cheese. Give it a quick cook in a pan, or on a griddle if you are serving a crowd – and done!
