Pesto Chicken & Burrata Sandwich is the ultimate shortcut for a gourmet meal. It feels fancy and tastes like it came from a high-end Italian deli, but it utilizes our La Bella Romana prepared foods department as a high quality sous chef!
It comes together in minutes with absolutely no cooking required.Ingredients:
La Bella Romana Rotisserie Chicken (Shredded)
La Bella Romana Pesto
DeLallo Roasted Red Peppers in Garlic: Drained and sliced into strips (the garlic infusion adds amazing depth!)
Keep the Garlic from the jar and dice
Burrata Cheese
Fresh Arugula
La Bella Romana Vienna Loaf
Instructions: 1. Prep the Chicken Pesto SaladIn a small bowl, mix your shredded rotisserie chicken with a few generous spoonfuls of the pesto until the chicken is well-coated and juicy.
2. Build the BaseSlice bread in half and take out some of the inside to add ingredients. Spread a thin layer of extra pesto on the bottom slice of bread. Pile on a generous helping of the pesto-tossed rotisserie chicken.
3. Layer the Peppers & GreensLayer the sliced DeLallo roasted red peppers over the chicken. Add the diced garlic on top.
The sweet, smoky, garlic-infused flavor of these secific peppers cuts through the richness of the pesto perfectly.
Top the peppers with a handful of fresh, peppery arugula.
5. The Grand Finale: The BurrataCarefully tear open the ball of fresh burrata. Spread the rich, creamy stracciatella interior and tender outer shell right over the top of the arugula.
If you like, hit the burrata with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt and a crack of black pepper.
6. Serve!Top with the remaining slice of bread, press down gently so that creamy burrata oozes just a little bit, cut in half, and enjoy immediately!!
Pro-Tips Toast: Toast the bread before topping for a nice crunch and a bit of warmth for the sandwich
DrizzleAdd a drizzle of balsamic or EVOO for more flavor and depth!
