  1. Ingredients
    Ciabatta, or bread of choice
    Roasted balsamic peppers
    1 heirloom tomato thinly sliced
    1 avocado sliced
    Arugula
    Grilled Chicken

    2 boneless chicken breasts
    1 tsp Italian seasoning
    Salt & pepper
    Olive oil
    Pistachio Pesto

    1/3 cup roasted pistachios
    2 cups fresh basil
    1/3 cup olive oil
    2 cloves garlic
    Juice from 1/2 lemon
    1/4 tsp salt
    Pinch of black pepper
    Directions
    Start by preparing the balsamic roasted peppers, linked above. These can be made a few days in advance to save time.
    Season the chicken breast with a drizzle of olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
    Heat a grill pan on medium heat and add in a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the breast. The internal temperature should reach 165 F. Let the chicken rest on a plate before slicing.
    While the chicken grills, prepare the pistachio pesto by adding the pesto ingredients to a food processor or blender and blending until smooth.
    Once all components are ready, toast your choice of bread. Spread a layer of pesto, followed by sliced avocado, arugula, tomatoes topped with flakey salt, sliced chicken and roasted peppers.
