    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
        Homemade Pesto (see below) (or use 3/4 cup prepared pesto)
    12 lrg whole wheat bread slices lightly toasted
    1 pkt goat cheese - (3 oz) crumbled
    1 jar roasted red bell peppers - (5.2 oz) drained, and thinly sliced
    4 plum tomatoes sliced
    8 bacon slices cooked, cut in half

    Recipe



    * Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350 degrees to 400 degrees) 10 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Let stand 10 minutes; cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

    * For Homemade Pesto: Process all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides. (Makes 3/4 cup)

    * Spread Homemade Pesto evenly on 1 side of each bread slice. Layer 4 bread slices, pesto-side up, with chicken, goat cheese, and roasted bell pepper slices. Top with 4 bread slices, pesto-side up; layer with tomato, bacon, and greens. Top with remaining 4 bread slices, pesto-side down. Cut into quarters, and secure with wooden picks.

    * This recipe yields 4 servings.
