Steps:
- Make sandwiches:
- In a heatproof bowl pour enough boiling water over tomatoes to cover and let stand 20 to 30 minutes, or until soft. Drain tomatoes and pat dry.
- Cut loaf diagonally into 4 pieces and halve each piece horizontally. Spread pesto on cut sides of bread and make 4 sandwiches with chicken, tomatoes, and arugula.
- Make Basil Olive Pesto:
- To a food processor with motor running add garlic and blend until minced. Add basil, parsley, and nuts and blend well. Add oil and blend until smooth. Transfer pesto to a bowl and stir in olives. Pesto may be made 5 days ahead and chilled, surface covered tightly with plastic wrap.
- Bring pesto to room temperature before using. Makes about 3/4 cup.
Tips:
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil is essential for this recipe. It adds a bright, peppery flavor that can't be replicated with dried basil.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread adds a nice crunch and helps it hold up to the juicy chicken.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: A good quality mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of the sandwich. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately: These sandwiches are best served immediately after they are made. The bread will get soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
These basil chicken sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of juicy chicken, fresh basil, and creamy mayonnaise is sure to please everyone.
