Basil pesto is found in 2 places in most grocery stores. Check the refrigerated pasta case and the pasta sauce aisle.

Chopped cooked roast beef instead of the chicken is another option for this oversized sandwich.

This tastes good but is awful to slice if crusty bread is used. I would recommend cutting the crust off the bread or using soft bread.

OMG this was soooo goood!! I made this for my mother in laws birthday lunch with the girls. They couldnt get over how good it was. I did have to tweak the recipe b/c they can't eat seeds even if they are pureed in pesto. So I decided to try hummus which I had on hand and basil that you can buy in the tube in produce. So I mixed the hummus with a little bit of basil to taste and that took place of the pesto. Really one slice is all you need b.c it is very filling. I highly recommend this and I cut more calories by getting the reduce fat cream cheese and using hummus so BONUS!
