quicker than doing in the oven if your doing one, tho the flip is hard to do. nice combo of flavours tho I used salsa rather than pesto and added fried onion and grenn chilli to chicken mix. - 11 Sep 2010 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Altered ingredient amounts. I added 1/2 red onion and some spicey italian mix to the chicken. Instead of pesto, mix up 4 Tblsp of mayo, 1 tsp of wholegrain mustard and a good squirt of tomatoe ketchup in a bwl, add chicken mix,place on cheese as normal. - 03 Dec 2008 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
