Chicken Caprese Sandwich

This chicken caprese sandwich has all the classic flavors of a caprese salad with an added boost of protein from grilled chicken. Using store-bought grilled chicken makes assembly quick and easy. This sandwich for one is made in a skillet, but would work equally well in a panini press if you have one on hand.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plain whole-milk strained yogurt (such as greek-style)
  • 1 tablespoon basil pesto
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened, divided
  • 2 slices whole-wheat bread
  • 2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 2 ounces grilled chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 slices tomato
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
