We all know that a Publix rotisserie chicken is a great option for a meal in a pinch. And while I love the convenience, rotisserie chicken can be a bit boring. So I look for ways to punch it up a bit.

Sometimes I toss it with some pasta or use the chicken for a salad. But, when I want BIG flavor, one of my all-time favorite ways to use that rotisserie chicken is for a hearty and delicious Chicken Pesto Panini.

My sandwich uses a total of five ingredients that combine for a super hearty and flavorful sandwich. And when it comes to the five ingredients you use, choosing quality ingredients will mean the difference between an OK sandwich and a GREAT sandwich.

For the bread, you really want to skip the bagged loaf bread and go with a good fresh baked bread from the bakery. A sourdough, Italian or 5-grain bread will all work. The second ingredient is the chicken of course. Next, you want a good pesto… either homemade or your favorite pre-made variety. Roasted red peppers add just the right amount of sweetness and a great texture that compliments the chicken. Roast fresh bell pepper or get a jarred version if you are short of time. The final ingredient is the cheese and that is a critical ingredient. I always go for the best and that means Galbani Fresh Mozzarella. That milky flavor and creamy texture is what pulls the whole sandwich together.

Look for the cheese on sale as part of the current Publix ad. Stock up at a great price now through 7/26 (7/25 For Some).
