Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Pesto Sandwiches with Veggies.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl and tossing together your chicken chunks, a drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Make sure every piece of chicken is well-coated with those flavorful ingredients.
Step 3
Next, heat up a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once it’s nice and hot, add in your chicken mixture and cook, stirring often, until the chicken begins to brown—this should take about five minutes.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add some color and crunch! Toss in sliced yellow bell pepper, onion, diced zucchini, and a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Step 6
Let this cook for about five minutes, or until the onion starts to soften and release its sweet aroma.
Step 7
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and a tablespoon of chopped basil, continuing to cook until the mushrooms are tender, which should take another five minutes.
Step 8
Now for the cheesy goodness! Add shredded mozzarella cheese and your favorite pesto sauce to the pot, tossing everything together until well combined.
Step 9
Gently fold in halved cherry tomatoes and let them warm through for about two to three minutes.
Step 10
Finally, it’s time to assemble your delicious creation! Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into toasted hoagie buns, and don’t forget to crown each sandwich with a generous sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese and a touch of fresh basil.
Step 11
Enjoy your flavorful feast!.
