A huge thank you to Nature’s Harvest® for sponsoring today’s blog post.
Well, we’re in the thick of it…school is well underway and extracurricular activities have started. Each evening I find myself rushing from work to softball games, Girl Scouts, dance, soccer and a million other places. It feels like there’s a new activity added to our already very busy schedule everyday. The girls love it, so it’s all worth it, but it definitely leaves me scrambling for easy dinner ideas when we finally get back home at night. And trust me, the easier the better! So sandwiches have been on the menu a lot lately. Because who says that sandwiches are only for lunch? Certainly not me. Whether it’s a grilled cheese. PB&J, or a turkey club, sandwiches are fast and filling, just perfect after a long day. Needless to say, I’m making the most of the Rollback on Nature’s Harvest® Honey Wheat Bread at Walmart (now only $1.97!) that I told you about earlier this month. My kids love it!
But what I may not have mentioned earlier this month is that Nature’s Harvest® makes a Whole Grain White bread. That’s right, soft, delicious white bread with 8 grams of whole grains per serving! And that’s huge because 56% of Americans are already trying to add whole grains into their diet. Confession: I’m one of them. Since white bread is my absolute weakness, Nature’s Harvest® Whole Grain White bread allows me to have the white bread I want while giving me the whole grains I need.
And as it turns out, Nature’s Harvest® Whole Grain White bread is the absolute best bread for my newest creation – The Open-Faced Chicken Caprese Sandwich! Ready in just 10 minutes, this sandwich is perfect for those nights when you’re on the go, but want a toasted sandwich that will fill you up on a chilly fall night. As an added bonus – there’s virtually no mess!
You will need:
Nature’s Harvest® Whole Grain White Bread
Butter
Grilled chicken breast
Tomatoes
Mozzarella cheese
Fresh Basil leaves
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Balsamic Vinaigrette (optional)
Step 1 – Spread a thin layer of butter on a slice of Nature’s Harvest Whole Grain White Bread. Toast for 2 minutes and then remove from the toaster oven.
Step 2 – Layer chicken, tomatoes, and Mozzarella cheese on top of the toasted bread. 
Toast in toaster oven for 4 minutes. Add the Basil to the top of your sandwich as soon as it’s removed from the toaster oven.
Note: Lots of people prefer chopping the basil and placing it between the tomatoes and cheese, but I much prefer it on top of my sandwich. Either will be delicious!
Step 3 – Top with salt and pepper (to taste) and, for a little extra flavor, splash on a bit of Balsamic Vinaigrette.
And while you’re nibbling on this delicious sandwich, be sure to check out the Nature’s Harvest® Sandwich Art Contest entries on the Nature’s Harvest® Facebook page and visit www.NaturesHarvestBreadSurvey.com to take a quick 10 minute opt-in shopper survey. The first 100 people to do so will receive a $5 Walmart Gift Card (must be a U.S. Citizen, 18 years or older)! Good luck and enjoy!
