Steps:
- To make the sandwich:
- Prepare grill.
- Lightly brush bell peppers and eggplants with oil and grill on an oiled rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals about 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Cut peppers into strips.
- Lightly brush cut sides of bread with oil and grill, cut sides down, about 2 minutes, or until golden. Spread each piece of bread with 4 tablespoons pesto and divide peppers, eggplants, and mozzarella between them. Grill sandwiches, covered, just until cheese is melted. (Alternatively, vegetables and assembled sandwiches may be broiled.) Sprinkle each sandwich with basil and cut in half.
- To make the pesto:
- In a blender or small food processor blend together all ingredients with salt and pepper to taste until smooth. Pesto keeps, covered and chilled, up to 1 week. Makes about 2/3 cup.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a flavorful bread, such as a ciabatta or sourdough loaf.
- Be sure to season the chicken breasts well before grilling.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken breasts in a grill pan over medium heat.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have fresh mozzarella cheese, you can substitute shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese.
- For a healthier sandwich, use whole-wheat bread and low-fat cheese.
- Serve the sandwiches with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or barbecue sauce.
