Chicken Caprese Sandwiches With Basil Pesto Mayo

This sandwich was so delicious!  Seriously yummy and seriously easy.  I threw it together in very little time, and we couldn't get over the amazing flavors in it!  I got it off of www.yourhomebasedmom.com, (which, by the way, is one of my favorite food blogs), and I barely changed it (which, by the way, is not typical for me).  The chicken was supposed to be grilled, but to save time and a walk outside, I just cooked it in my frying pan in a little oil.  It would have been yummy grilled, but it was yummy either way!

Chicken Caprese Sandwiches With Basil Pesto Mayo
from: www.yourhomebasedmom.com

2 chicken breasts, cut in half, and also cut in half in the way that makes them thinner
salt and pepper
1 tomato, sliced
fresh basil
4 hard rolls
4 slices of cheddar cheese
balsamic vinegar

Pesto Mayo
1/4 c. mayonaise
3 Tbsp. pesto

In a small bowl, stir together the mayo and pesto and put it in the fridge for later.
The pesto mayo looks kind of gross as a close up, in the bowl like that.  But don't be fooled.  It is sooo good.  Maren was eating it plain.  Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook them on the grill (or in a frying pan) until they are no longer pink in the center.  Build your sandwich, using the chicken, tomato, fresh basil, cheese and pesto mayo.  Drizzle balsamic vinegar on the top, or you could drizzle it on the under side of your top bun.  And, enjoy!
