Chicken Pesto Sandwich

This is also from installment #2 of my/Hira’s weekend cooking adventures (recipe adapted from here)! I would’ve loved to make the pesto from scratch, but we were trying to keep things simple and she already had store-bought pesto (pine nuts are expensive! :[ ), so we decided to go ahead and use that! One of the nurses at her preceptor’s office had homegrown yellow tomatoes and gave her a couple, so we decided to slice one up and add it to the sandwich. :D
