Try This
Instead of Italian bread, try onion or herb focaccia for a traditional sandwich. Start by slicing focaccia horizontally in half, spread cut sides of focaccia with margarine. Cut focaccia into 4 wedges. Layer chicken, pesto and cheese on bottom wedges and place on large cookie sheet. Add tops of wedges, cut sides up, on cookie sheet. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 3 minutes. Place tops of focaccia on top of chicken, pesto and cheese.
