With Back to School around the corner and National Sandwich Month upon us think about how you can make sandwich night a regular part of your family meals.

You build your own pizzas – why not build your own big sandwich.  10 minutes, $10.00 and fun time with kids make it a great family meal occasion for back to school.

We did this one with a Mediterranean theme but you can make it an event with your kids.  Have them build their own portion of the sandwich and pick out the ingredients that they want to build it with.

12 inch focaccia or other big round bread loaf

Kale Pesto

Oven Roasted Tomatoes

Kalamata Olives

Herb Grilled Chicken

Goat Cheese

Fresh Basil

Slice the bread through the middle.  Spread the kale pesto on the bottom half.  Top with grilled chicken (you can buy it already grilled and sliced in the grocery store).  Top with all the other ingredients or whatever you wat to throw on.  Slice into wedges and enjoy!About the Guest Chef:
