How to cook deliciously - Warm Chicken Sandwiches with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Rub with oil and season with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until juices run clear when pierced with a knife or temperature registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer. When cool enough to handle, cut chicken into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, turn a stove burner to high heat. Place bell pepper on burner and roast 12 to 15 minutes, turning regularly with tongs so pepper chars evenly. Place in a paper bag; seal and let stand (and steam) 5 minutes. Peel off blackened skin and discard. Cut pepper into quarters; remove and discard seeds and core.

3. Stage

Open sandwich loaves and spread about 1 tablespoon pesto on each slice. Top the bases of each loaf with Fontina, red pepper, arugula, chicken, and another slice of Fontina, dividing evenly. Place tops on sandwiches.

4. Stage

In a preheated panini maker, press sandwiches for 6 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake about 6 minutes. Serve immediately.
