Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/8-inch slices.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine mayo and half the pesto. Season with salt and pepper.
- To a large bowl, add half the vinegar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add tomatoes and spinach. Do not mix until step 6.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- While pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with half the Italian Herb Spice Blend and pepper.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
- Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Spread remaining pesto over top. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-14 min, until chicken is cooked through.**
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and peppers. Season with remaining Italian Herb Spice Blend and pepper.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp and golden.
- Add remaining vinegar and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar.
- Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until peppers are tender.
- Remove from heat.
- Halve buns.
- On another unlined baking sheet, arrange buns, cut-sides up. Toast buns in the middle of the oven for 3-4 min, until golden. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)
- Toss salad.
- Spread pesto mayo over top and bottom buns.
- Stack bottom buns with chicken, peppers and some of the salad. Close with top buns.
- Divide salad and sandwiches between plates.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Customers loved the pesto sauce and peppers, praising the fantastic flavours and juicy texture.
- Ease of prep: Quick to put together and filling, with generous chicken portions that were appreciated.
- Suggestions: Consider grilling the ciabatta instead of toasting for better taste; add feta cheese before toasting for extra flavour.
- Portions: The sandwich was filling, but some suggested adding a side dish like roasted vegetables or homemade fries.
- Texture: To improve eating experience, slice chicken breasts to fit the bun better and use wider bread to contain fillings.
