Chicken Pesto Sandwich

Servings: six

Ingredients

12 slices whole grain bread
2-3 large chicken breasts
Olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
½ cup homemade or store-purchased pesto sauce
12 oz arugula
2-3 large vine-ripened tomatoes

To assemble

Preheat oven to 350.  Place chicken in an oven proof dish or pan.  Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Roast for 35-40 minutes.  Allow to cool slightly before proceeding.  When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bone.  Slice the chicken lengthwise.

Toast bread and spread with a layer of pesto sauce.  Top with several slices of chicken, tomatoes and top with arugula.  Cut in half and serve.
