Looking for a simple and fast meal to make on a busy night? This keto pesto chicken sandwich is right up your alley! Made with microwave sandwich bread, it’s a treat for any night of the week. Gluten-free, grain-free, low-carb, ketogenic.
So if I had to pick one of my recipes that I absolutely love, but don’t make nearly often enough, it would DEFINITELY be my keto microwave sandwich bread. It’s so simple and quick, and yet somehow I just don’t even think to make sandwiches these days.
On keto, I’m so quick to simply forgo the bread, bun or wrap, and eat the fillings by themselves. This is pretty much your only option when eating out, so for some reason I have this ingrained that I can’t eat bread.
However, that is definitely not the truth! There are tons of low-carb breads out there, with even more being developed all the time.
This keto pesto chicken sandwich is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the microwave sandwich bread. The keto BLT sandwich is definitely one of my other favorites.
To make this tasty sammich, start by whipping up a batch of microwave sandwich bread, which will set you back just a few minutes.
You can also cook up some chicken breasts, or use precooked chicken for an even quicker meal, because who doesn’t love that?
Slather some tasty pesto on top, once the bread is made and cooled a bit. I do recommend making homemade, whether you go for a lemon basil walnut pesto, or a vegan and Whole30 pesto.
You could also go for the stuff from a jar. If I’m being honest, I used the jar stuff when I made this the first time, because sometimes I’m just too lazy.
Now it’s time for the fun part, simply layer your chicken, tomatoes and mozzarella. Feel free to go crazy here and add some fresh basil, arugula, or really any other fillings you can think of.
If you feel like getting fancy, you could even add some seasoning to the bread, like some rosemary or Italian seasoning. YUM!
