I love a good sandwich. I mean LOVE. Like stalker kind of love. This grilled chicken sandwich is one I fall in love with all over again every time I make it. It has so many layers of deliciousness. I made fire roasted yellow and red pepper pesto. I also made Smoked Chicken. Then I combined those things to make this over the top grilled sandwich. It’s so good you may want to hug me. But don’t. Kim does not like PDA. Seriously, don’t try it.

What you can try is this sandwich. It is so worth the effort. If you have smoked chicken it works beautifully on this. If you don’t and just want to slap any old chicken on here that’s okay too. Well, maybe not an old chicken. Make sure it’s fresh. Don’t want you taking me literally and going to the butcher to ask for an “old chicken”. How embarrassing would that be.

You can use Brick Chicken in this too if you like. If you’re just in a serious lazy mood you can even buy a rotisserie chicken and use that. Whatever floats your boat, man. Pick your battles in life. Chicken ain’t one of them. Ain’t no one got time for that.

So pick your chicken, make your Fire Roasted Yellow and Red Pepper Pesto and get to stepping. Out on your deck that is. Or you patio. Whatever. Just get to stepping wherever your grill is. Then grill this mother. Grill it, eat it, thank me after your third or fourth one. You know, whenever you stop for air. I’m in no rush. I can’t wait.

Smoked Grilled Chicken Sandwich

This sandwich is so over the top good. I smoked a chicken, then sliced it up, then turned it into a grilled chicken sandwich layered with roasted red peppers, mozzarella and fire roasted yellow and red pepper pesto!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Baguette
  • Chicken from one smoked chicken sliced into pieces
  • Roasted red peppers jarred or homemade
  • Mozzarella lots of it, personally we like pizza mozzarella, melts beautifully
  • Fire roasted yellow and red pepper pesto to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat your chicken pieces up on the grill. Use a cookie sheet if the pieces are small.
  2. Now use garlic butter and spread that stuff liberally all over the baguette. Pop the spread side of the baguette down and grill until golden, about 3 minutes.
  3. Now take that baguette off the grill.
  4. Pop a cookie sheet or pizza stone on the grill.
  5. Place the bottom of the baguette bottom side down on the cookie sheet. Start piling on the chicken and layer it with roasted red peppers, cheese and pesto. However you want to layer it is fine by me. Just go nuts and pile that sucker high.
  6. Put the top of the baguette on, well, the top obviously.
  7. Put the lid of the grill down and let that sucker heat up until the cheese melts. It will take a few minutes. Do not have your grill too hot or you will scorch the bread. If you're concerned it's too close to the grates use bricks to lift the cookie sheet up off the grill grates a little bit.
  8. Pull it off the grill and slap more pesto on it.
  9. You can make your own favourite pesto, or make my Fire Roasted Yellow and Red Pepper Pesto
  10. Serve with a big old sandwich loving smile!

Recipe Notes

Grilled Smoked Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Red Peppers, Mozzarella, and Red and Yellow Pepper Pesto

If you want to learn how to Fire Roast Bell Peppers there is a great tutorial on the blog. You can also use your own favourite pesto recipe on this or make my Fire Roasted Yellow and Red Pepper Pesto. Whatever works for you.

I would personally recommend making the Fire Roasted Yellow and Red Pepper Pesto though. I mean just look at it.

Grilled Smoked Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Red Peppers, Mozzarella, and Red and Yellow Pepper Pesto

Totally worth the effort. I’ve already had  one (okay, so I had three) and I still want to sink my teeth into another one. Just one bite. One little bite.

Now go forth and make sandwiches. Now. Then share one with a friend. We’re friends, right? I like mine piled extra high.

Now be confident and get your grill on!

    I’m the same way with a good sammich – that makes me want to cry just looking at it! And ummmm…pretty sure I gave you a hug when we met. Do you hate me now? Am I going to hug you with my mind when we see each other next? 😉 xo

      It’s so good.

      And lol, I do hug on occasion, then I pretend not to be freaked out by it. I must drive hubs nuts, he tried to put his arm around me while we were walking the other day and I’m like “dude, don’t make me hurt you”. I’m a keeper. We’re totally hugging at the next conference. And I’ll even pretend I like it. Bah ha ha.

      I’m not much of one either, unless it’s a hot sandwich. I’m like that with bread too, I hate eating it cold. Weird right.

      I know right. It’s my jam. K hates it. She finds the smoke taste overwhelming. I need to have a chat with my idol, Mr Ted Reader and see if he suggest something that would make it less intense for her.

      Ha, I leave mine out year round. I may move my grills and smoker to the patio since it’s blocked on all sides from wind, then I could set the smoker on a wheeled cart and wheel it in and out of the garage. I’m a nut right.

      You gotta try this. You will love it.
