Tips & Techniques

  • Ingredient Info

    Focaccia is a flat, round Italian bread with a dense texture that slices perfectly for sandwiches. Look for focaccia in the grocery store's bakery or deli, or stop by an Italian bakery.

  • Kitchen Tip

    Freeze any remaining pesto to use on pasta or crostini, or to add a flavor-boost to sauce, soups, eggs and rice. Drop pesto in 1- to 2-tablespoon portions onto a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet; freeze until firm. Transfer the frozen pesto portions to a food storage freezre bag. Remove only what you need, then return the resealed bag to the freezer.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4  lb. (about 6) boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2  cup roasted red bell pepper (from a jar), cut into bite-sized strips
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 1/4  cup mayonnaise
  • 3  tablespoons purchased pesto
  • 1  (10-inch) focaccia (Italian flat bread)
  • 6  slices tomato

Directions

  1. 1Place chicken thighs in 3 1/2 or 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with garlic, roasted pepper strips and salt.
  2. 2Cover; cook on Low setting for 6 to 7 hours.
  3. 3Just before serving, remove chicken from slow cooker; place on large plate. Shred chicken with 2 forks; return to slow cooker and mix well.
  4. 4In small bowl, combine mayonnaise and pesto; blend well. Cut focaccia into 6 wedges; split each in half. Spread cut sides with mayonnaise mixture. With slotted spoon, place about 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto bottom half of each focaccia wedge. Top each with tomato slice and top half of focaccia.
