Grilled Chicken Breast Ciabatta w/ Pesto Mayo~Robynne

I am always looking for new ways to prepare my families favorite foods and this sandwich really does it for us. I slipped in whole grain Ciabattas, grilled chicken breasts, swiss cheese, bacon, tomatoes, avocados and topped it off with a bold pesto mayonnaise.

Disclaimer: I have always used recipes as a guide and use my instincts and experience to alter or omit ingredients as I cook. Therefore, it has always been a challenge when sharing recipes with others. I doubt I make dishes the same way twice. So, I advise you to use my recipes the same way. Trust your experience and adjust to your personal taste~Robynne
