My philosophy is simple: I believe what we consume is everything—from the foods we put in our body, to the ideas we feed for our minds, to the connections we have with others. Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Chicken Pesto Panini
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Ingredients:
● 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
● ½ cup store bought pesto
● 2 cups arugula
● 2 roma tomatoes, sliced
● 1 ⅓ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
● 8 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
Directions:
Heat up a panini grill or a large sauté pan. In a large bowl, toss chicken with salt, pepper, and pesto to coat. Stack one half of your bread with arugula, sliced tomato, pesto chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese. Top with the other half of the bread. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Place in a panini press and cook until toasty and cheese is melted. Alternatively, heat on a sauté pan over medium heat, flip when the first side is toasted for about 2-3 minutes. Serve alongside a small arugula salad with tomatoes and a light olive oil, salt and pepper drizzle.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Use smashed chickpeas instead of chicken and add vegan pesto.
Gluten-free: Use gluten-free bread or make it a salad with extra arugula, toss everything with pesto.
Quick Prep: Lay sandwiches open faced on a sheet tray and toast all at one time in the oven at 375F for 10 minutes.
