Instructions:

Step 1.

In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive on medium-high heat. Add Hungry Planet Chicken™ and cook until golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2.

Layout all pieces of bread and spread 1 tablespoon of pesto on one side of each slice. Season with a little salt and pepper and lay one slice of cheese on top. Next, place the cooked chicken on cheese, and top with another slice of bread cheese side down.
Step 3.

In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of butter on medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add grilled cheese sandwiches and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Remove from the pan and enjoy.
