Ingredients
3/4 cup shredded rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed
8 slices sandwich bread
3 tablespoons basil pesto
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 slices mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoons softened butter
Instructions
1. Mix the chicken, pesto, and mayonnaise until evenly combined.
2. Divide the filling among four bread slices. Top each with one slice mozzarella and a second bread slice.
3. Spread the butter thinly over the outside of the sandwiches.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook in batches for 3 to 5 minutes per side, pressing gently and covering briefly to warm the filling, until the bread is golden, the cheese melts, and the chicken filling reaches 165°F.
5. Cut and serve warm. Refrigerate unused chicken filling promptly and assemble the remaining sandwiches when ready to eat.
