Instead of Italian bread, try onion or herb focaccia for a change. Slice the focaccia horizontally in half and spread each cut side with butter. 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, broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 3 minutes.
