I’m sure you know how to make a grilled cheese so I will just give the basics. Grill the chicken first, or use leftovers, your preference. Spread pesto on the insides of both pieces of bread. Place the cheese on the bottom piece of bread, closest to the heat. Layer everything else however you like and cook until nice and toasty.

  1. I came here, April, a skeptic. I have my favorite grilled cheese sandwich and thought that none could compare. Well, you converted me. This sounds just too good. Pesto as sandwich spread is an idea whose time has come. Adding spinach and chicken moves this sandwich to another level entirely. And whatever doubts I may have had, your photos certainly erased them . This looks like one great sandwich. “Yummy” is right!

  2. Thank you, John! πŸ™‚ I’ve become a bit of a pesto addict lately. I’ve been making sandwich spreads, salad dressings, and putting on everything! It’s so dense with flavor, I just love it!

  4. This looks heavenly! Happy to have “met” you because my husband is celiac! I sooooo miss Udi’s bread. We could get it in Houston but now that we are in Dubai I have to make some from a mix and it’s nowhere near as good. 😦

    • Thank you for stopping by! I used to make my own bread but Udi’s makes it so convenient I’ve become quite lazy! Ha!

      We are getting ready to move from Washington State to New Hampshire and I’m already a tad bit panicked about being able to find my favorite gluten-free items. But at least I can order the online! I’m not sure how well Udi’s bread would keep while flying from the US to Dubai! ~April

  5. I love Udi’s bread! It’s the only bread that comes close to a gluten-loaf.. I understand now why a recipe for bread would be the ultimate! Paired with cheese, chicken.. pesto, spinach.. fantastic grilled cheese.. gourmet style! xx

    • I used to make my own GF bread, but I’ve been really lazy lately in the bread area! It’s so easy to just pop into the store and grab a loaf of Udi’s.
