Chicken Pesto Burrata — Italian Flavors, Healthyish Approach
Marinated grilled chicken, house-whipped burrata, basil pesto, roasted red peppers, ripe tomato, and fresh spinach on house-baked semolina bread.
The Chicken Pesto Burrata is simply a lot of our favorite things all together in the same place, becoming one of our most popular sandwiches from day one. Marinated grilled chicken layered with house-whipped burrata, bright basil pesto, roasted red peppers, ripe tomato, and fresh sauteed spinach. All of it on semolina bread we bake in-house and cold-proof for 24+ hours, so you get that crisp-outside, fluffy-inside texture that holds up to every ingredient without falling apart.
The burrata is what separates this from the pesto chicken sandwiches you've had before. We whip it in-house so it's light and spreadable, and when it’s toasted it becomes an ethereally cozy pillow for our tender grilled chicken. The pesto brings herby brightness, the roasted red peppers add smoky sweetness, the spinach is sauteed with garlic & extra virgin olive oil, and the tomato brings everything together. Every layer has a job, and they all get to work.
Whether it's your go-to weekday lunch on the Upper West Side, a post-walk-through-the-park reward near Gramercy, or a first visit because someone told you about the bread — the Chicken Pesto Burrata delivers. Also available on our multigrain flatbread wrap or gluten-free ciabatta. Order online for pickup or delivery at getsandwell.com/order.
