Ready In
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate.
- Place basil, oil, garlic, Romano cheese, oregano, and pepper into a blender. Blend on high until smooth, adding additional oil if necessary, about 30 seconds.
- Grill chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. Do not turn off grill.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of Caesar dressing onto 2 slices of bread. Top each with lettuce, and an additional slice of bread. Spread the second slice of bread thickly with the pesto. Top each sandwich with a cooked chicken breast, a slice of smoked mozzarella, and the remaining bread.
- Grill sandwiches until the cheese is melted, and the bread is toasted, about 3 minutes per side.

Tried this the other night! Loved it, but I did make a few changes.. I didn't see the need for that 3rd piece of bread so I just used two slices of potato bread. Potato bread works great for pan...
