Chicken Pesto Feta Cheese Sandwich
This is a great sandwich & about the best way i know to use leftover grilled chicken & roasted peppers, so plan ahead for it + marinating the mushrooms. My source is the wildflower bread co in scottsdale, az. Stated times do not include the original prep/cooking of the chicken & peppers or the refrigerated marination of the mushrooms. Enjoy! .. *edited to add* -- this recipe was included for greece in zwt6 due to its strong mediterranean influence + the use of feta cheese & pesto. :-)
Steps
Marinate mushrooms in balsamic vinegar for at least 24 hrs under refrigeration , stirring occasionally.
Discard any excess marinade when ready to assumble sandwiches.
Slice peppers into 1 / 4-in wide strips.

Trim any fat or rib meat from the chicken breasts & grill till done.
To assemble sandwich: slice 1 roll in half lengthwise.
