Test Kitchen - Chicken Pesto Sandwiches

Today for lunch I decided to try these chicken pesto sandwiches by Damn Delicious, using some of the leftovers from my beer can chicken. I'll admit, I mega cheated on this one. I used store bought pesto, and since the chicken was already cooked all I had to do was shred it and mix in the pesto and Greek yogurt. It took all of 5 minutes to throw together. After tasting it, I decided to add some garlic salt and onions to spice things up a bit. After those few additions it was excellent. A perfect, quick, easy lunch recipe!
