Pesto Chicken Salad Sandwiches

This is one of those amazing Cooking Light recipes!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
• 1/3 cup commercial pesto (such as Buitoni)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups cubed skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast (I do the breasts in the crockpot)
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
• 1 (1-pound) focaccia bread, cut in half horizontally, toasted, and cut into 20 slices
• 1 (12-ounce) bottle roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped
• 10 romaine lettuce leaves

Preparation

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Stir in chicken, celery, and walnuts.

Spread 1/2 cup of salad onto each of 10 bread slices. Top each serving with about 2 tablespoons bell pepper, 1 lettuce leaf, and one bread slice.
