Blackstone Chicken Pesto Sandwiches
A simple dinner ready in a few minutes thanks to the griddle… Blackstone Chicken Pesto Sandwiches is my recipe today for you!
I made some Basil Walnut Pesto and froze it a few weeks ago.
So that’s what I am using for these sandwiches, but store bought pesto will do just fine.
How to make Blackstone Chicken Pesto Sandwiches
For the bread, I am using store bought ciabatta rolls.
And you’ll also need four thin cut chicken breasts and some fresh mozzarella cheese.
Simple enough ingredients, right?!
First season the thin cut chicken breasts with kosher salt, pepper, and all purpose seasoning blend of choice.
I am actually using a brisket seasoning.
Then slice the rolls in half and slice the cheese into 8 slices.
Place everything on a tray and head out to the griddle or flat top grill.
Preheat the griddle to medium for a few minutes.
Then add cooking oil of choice, I went with olive oil, and the thin chicken breasts.
The chicken will cook for 6 to 8 minutes total, flipping a few times.
While the chicken is cooking, place the rolls cut side down on the griddle for a minute to slightly toast them.
Then remove the rolls and spread some pesto on both the top and bottom of each roll.
Next add the bottom half of each roll back to the griddle and place a chicken breast on each.
Then top with two slices of mozzarella and the top bun.
And use a burger press to press down ever so slightly.
Cover with a melting dome for a few minutes to help the cheese melt.
Flip the sandwiches and cover again with the melting dome.
If you think the rolls may toast too much, just turn the griddle off while the cheese melts.
Blackstone Chicken Pesto Sandwiches are full of ooey gooey melty cheese!
They are a messy sandwich, but that’s part of the fun 🙂
