🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for grilled mushrooms, zucchini, or roasted eggplant while keeping the other fillings. Use dairy-free mozzarella and cream cheese, and choose a pesto without cheese if avoiding milk.
What to serve with it
Serve it with a crisp cucumber salad, pickles, or a simple bowl of soup to balance the rich, cheesy sandwich. Iced tea, sparkling water, or lemonade also work well for a quick lunch or dinner.
