Papa’s Basil Pesto Chicken Sandwich
This is my daddy’s recipe and the entire family loves it! If you don’t want to pound your chicken, just buy the thin cutlets or cut the breast in two across the breast and you can make 6-8 sandwiches depending on the pack you purchase. Also, the jar of basil pesto that I use can usually be found on Isle 2 at Harris Teeter.

Directions
Sandwich:
Pound each chicken breast and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Grill each breast until cooked throughout.
While the chicken is cooking, brush the buns with margarine or butter and grill or toast the buns.
Before removing the chicken from the grill, place a slice of provolone cheese on each chicken breast.
After grilling the buns, spread the Basil Pesto mayonnaise on each bun half. Place the chicken breast on one half of the bun, and top with thinly sliced red onion and a romaine lettuce leaf.
Place the other half of the bun on top making the sandwich.

Mix together well.
