How to Make Tuscan Style Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Prepare your barbecue grill for medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons pesto. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Cut your bread horizontally in half.
Lightly brush both sides of the chicken breasts (about 1 pound total) with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let it cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, slice the chicken on a sharp diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Spread the pesto mayonnaise evenly onto the cut surfaces of both bread halves.
Layer the following onto the bottom halves of the bread: sliced chicken, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts (drained), 1/2 medium tomato (sliced), and a handful of fresh greens (such as spinach or arugula).
Top with the other halves of the bread.
