Steps:
- Using on/off turns, blend sage leaves, pine nuts, parsley, and garlic in processor until mixture is finely chopped. With machine running, add 3/4 cup oil and blend until thick paste forms. Mix in cheese. Transfer to small bowl; season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Press plastic wrap onto surface of pesto and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)
- Place each chicken breast between sheets of waxed paper. Using rolling pin or meat mallet, pound each to 1/2-inch thickness. Brush chicken with 3 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let chicken stand 30 minutes.
- Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill chicken until firm to touch and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Grill focaccia until just beginning to brown, about 1 minute per side.
- Arrange bottom halves of focaccia on work surface. Spread each with mayonnaise. Top each with overlapping layer of sliced apple, then 1 chicken breast. Drizzle each chicken breast with pesto. Spread pesto on cut side of bread tops. Place tops on chicken, pesto side down. Cut sandwiches in half on diagonal. Transfer sandwiches to plates and serve.

[email protected]Overall, this was a good recipe. The chicken was cooked well and the pesto was flavorful. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes. I would use fresh basil in the pesto and I would add more herbs and spices to the chicken.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs and spices to the chicken next time. The pesto was good, but I think it would have been better if I had used fresh basil instead of dried.
Jacob Domebale
[email protected]The chicken was a bit dry, but the pesto and apples were delicious. I think I would try marinating the chicken next time to make it more moist.

[email protected]Amazing flavor! The sage pesto really made this dish. I used a store-bought pesto, but I think it would be even better with homemade. The chicken was also perfectly cooked and juicy. I will definitely be making this again.
