Instructions
Heat the chef’s craft chicken breast according to package directions.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Smear one side of each piece of bread with pesto.
Place provolone on top, followed by the chicken breast fillet, followed by more cheese, and then topped with the second slice of bread.
Spread butter on top of the sandwich.
Carefully place the sandwich on the hot skillet, turning the sandwich over as you do so that the buttered side is now facing down into the skillet.
Butter the top piece of bread.
Fry each side of the sandwich until golden and crispy. The center should be hot and the provolone should just begin to melt out the sides.
