The last few weeks have been super busy around here between end of school and promotion festivities. Not to mention having everyone home , coming and going during the day.

So when my daughter wanted to have a bigger lunch one day before heading to work, she and I came up with this Chicken Cutlet Sandwich with Bacon, Avocado & Pesto.

I happened to have leftover chicken cutlets in the refrigerator from the night before and a freshly purchased loaf of Ciabatta bread which sounded like the makings of a good sandwich to me. The bacon, avocado and pesto were an added bonus.

If you don't have chicken cutlets already prepared, I suggest purchasing either chicken tenderloins or the already sliced thin chicken breasts.

Dredge them in flour, egg wash and breadcrumbs; then fry them in extra virgin olive oil until the chicken is cooked through.

You can also multitask and do this while the bacon is cooking. I would allow for an extra 15 minutes to prepare this sandwich if you're making the cutlets at the same time.

We toasted our bread to give it a little added crunch and I have to say the combination of all of the flavors was AH-MAZ-ING!

This Chicken Cutlet Sandwich with Bacon, Avocado & Pesto makes a tasty sandwich for lunch or dinner; especially when you're looking for dinner ideas where you don't need to turn on the oven. ~Enjoy!

    I just found your recipes a few days ago, don’t even remember how. The sandwich recipes sound divine. I do love pesto and forget to use it more. Thank you so much.
