Impress guests with a simple yet stunning layered sandwich!
Ingredients:
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 12 pieces
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 12 pieces
  • 1 cup whole fresh mushroom, cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 1 uncut oblong loaf Italian bread (15 to 16 ounces)
  • 1 container (8 ounces) soft cream cheese with chives and onions
  • Fresh herbs and herb flowers, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F. Grease a 15 1/2x10 1/2x1 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Spread bell peppers and mushrooms on the pan, drizzle with oil, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until crisp-tender. Let cool in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Roughly chop the roasted vegetables and combine them with parsley and 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise; set aside. Mix the chicken with 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and the pesto.
  • Begin by slicing the bread horizontally into 4 layers. Start assembling the sandwich by placing the bottom layer on a plate or tray. Spread half of the pesto filling evenly over this layer. Add the next bread layer on top. Spoon the vegetable filling over the bread and add another layer of bread on top. Spread the remaining pesto filling over this layer and finish by placing the final bread layer on top to complete the sandwich.
  • Cover the sandwich loaf with cream cheese, chill for at least 1 hour. Decorate with fresh herbs, slice the loaf into 8 pieces, then halve each slice. Store covered in the fridge.
