Pesto and Goat Cheese Chicken Sandwich

This sandiwch is another very tasty meal that you can make in under 10 minutes!  It is perfect for a lighter meal (you can even make it vegetarian by simply removing the chicken), it is also a good party sampler if you cut into small pieces.  The flavors of fresh goat cheese and pesto with a nice juicy tomato are just heavenly on a freshly baked french loaf.  Originally I wasn't going to add chicken but then decided to add a half a chicken breast to make it a light but satisfying meal before I went for a bike ride.  Again, this is very simple just be sure to use all fresh ingredients to really experience wonderful flavors in this sandwich.

Recipe: Serves 1

3 oz chicken breast sliced in half
1 tbsp fresh pesto (I'll be putting up a recipe for homemade pesto eventually!)
1 tbsp goat cheese
2 slices of tomato
Mini loaf of french bread (6-8 inches)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Marinate the chicken breast with salt and pepper on one side and grill for about 7 minutes (or bake at 450) (I use my George Foreman that works really well and cooks it in about 4-5 minutes). 
Meanwhile, bake the loaf of bread for the recommended amount of time (again about 5-6 minutes, just until browned slightly). 
Once the bread is done, cut in half and spread goat cheese on one half and pesto on the other. 
When the chicken is done, slice it in half to make it thinner and place on the bottom half of the bread.


Top with two slices of tomato, salt and pepper to taste and you are ready to eat
JUST GOOD FOOD!
