Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • 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.
Make pesto mayo and assemble salad
2
  • 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.
Cook chicken
3
  • 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.**
Cook peppers
4
  • 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.

 

Toast sandwich buns
5
  • 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!)
Finish and serve
6
  • 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.
