This chicken sandwich is a great option for lunch or dinner! The pesto adds another level of flavor. Serve with a side your favorite vegan chips.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 1


What You'll Need

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons vegan pesto (You can either buy a vegan pesto or try my Pesto recipe!)

  • Bread of your choice

  • 1 handful of fresh baby spinach

  • 1 tomato (sliced)

  • Vegan chicken (I use Tofurky's Lightly Seasoned Chick'n)

Cooking Instructions

  1. Prepare your pesto.

  2. Cook your vegan chicken on medium heat until brown (about 5 minutes).

  3. Starting with the pesto, build your sandwich. Spread your pesto on one slice of bread, add your spinach, tomatoes, and chicken.

  4. On medium heat, add oil to a skillet and cook your sandwich until golden brown (about 2 minutes on each side).

  5. Best when served hot!


Tips!

  1. You can opt for the cold version of this sandwich. You will still need to cook the vegan chicken before assembling your sandwich.

  2. I find that multigrain bread, or sourdough, works really well for a pesto-based sandwich.

  3. You can also try adding in a bit of vegan mozzarella for even more flavor!
