Chicken Pesto Sandwiches

Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup plain yogurt

1/3 cup pesto

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups chopped cooked chicken (

1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)

French bread Rolls (long french bread for party sandwiches you can cut to size)

3 tablespoons butter, softened

lettuce

Directions

In medium bowl, combine cream cheese, yogurt, and pesto; beat until smooth. Stir in cheese, then add chicken and red bell peppers.

Spread one side of each slice of bread or rolls with the softened butter. Make sandwiches with the bread, buttered side in, and the filling. Serve immediately, or chill for 4 hours, or wrap and freeze. If you aren't going to freeze them, you can add the lettuce. If freezing the sandwiches, omit the lettuce for now.

NOTE: If frozen, let thaw in an insulated lunchbox with a frozen gel pack. Use a really good roll that has some character. No sandwich should be made with a soggy white hot dog bun.

NOTE: Chicken Pesto Sandwiches are a quick and easy, delicious sandwich recipe you can eat immediately or freeze to tuck into lunchboxes later.
