Italian Veggie & Chicken Melt

Since Artisan bread sizes vary, two smaller slices of bread will work as well as 1 large slice. Fresh basil is really the best choice for this flavorful sandwich.

Ingredients 

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup sliced (1/4-inch) zucchini
1/2 cup sliced (1/4-inch) red onion
1/2 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch slices
4 slices large (about 5-1/2-inch x ½-inch) crusty Artisan bread
1/2 Gold'n Plump® Deli Rotisserie Chicken, meat removed and shredded (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
4 slices (1-ounce) Provolone cheese

Instructions 

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, onion, and bell pepper; cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes or until the vegetables are very tender and lightly browned.

Brush bread slices with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and place on a baking sheet.
Top bread slices with chicken, basil, and vegetables. Place 1 slice cheese on each sandwich.

Bake sandwiches 12 to 14 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Serve with a sharp knife and fork.
