Pesto chicken salad sandwich recipe, Take to work lunch ideas, Easy family food from daisies and pie

Use the leftover roast chicken from Sunday dinner to whip up this tasty, flavour packed pesto chicken salad sandwich for Monday lunchtime.

A delicious combo of pesto, creamy mayonnaise and roast chicken tossed together and packed into a sandwich with Italian style salad leaves.

We quite like a little side of Yushoi Snapea rice sticks, they’re tasty little rice and pea baked snacks, totally yum!

Make pesto chicken salad sandwiches your way…
  • If you’ve no leftover chicken, use a steamed chicken breast or shop bought chicken chunks.
  • Switch the green pesto for other varieties.
  • Add more protein and stir through some cooked borlotti beans.
  • Up the veggie content by adding some jarred peppers or sun dried tomatoes.
  • Serve on different types of bread, ciabatta rolls work well.
How to serve up chicken salad sandwiches
  • Take for packed lunch, wrap well in foil or greaseproof paper.
  • Eat for Monday night dinner with a side of sweet potato wedges.
  • Skip the sandwiches and turn it into baked potato topping or simply a salad bowl.
Yield: Serves 2
