Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 sourdough bread slices
  • 1/4 cup butter, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, very finely minced
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons pesto
  • 4 provolone cheese slices
  • 4 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 cup chicken, shredded (cooked)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Lay four slices of bread out.

  • Step 2: Spread one side of each with pesto sauce. I like more on mine than my husband so I add extra.

  • Step 3: Place a slice of provolone over pesto on each piece of bread

  • Step 4: In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt half the butter and saute the garlic for a few minutes until soft.

  • Step 5: Add two slices of bread, pesto side up to the skillet.

  • Step 6: As the cheese begins to melt, add a few leaves of spinach to one bread slice

  • Step 7: Top the spinach with half the chicken.

  • Step 8: Quickly, place the other slice of bread on top of the chicken pesto/cheese side down.

  • Step 9: Press down slightly. Cook until the cheese is melted and gooey, carefully flipping a few times, to keep the bread from getting overly toasted. Remove sandwich to a warm oven.

  • Step 10: Add the rest of the butter to the skillet and let it melt and get hot. Then repeat with the other slices of bread, and the rest of the ingredients.

  • Step 11: Cut in half and serve along side fresh fruit!
