I really enjoy grilled chicken with sweet red bell peppers and the summer taste of fresh basil mixed with parmesan cheese and garlic. I decided to take these great ingredients and make grilled chicken basil stuffed bread! We had this for dinner last night and it was a hit!
We served it alongside {tortellini with pesto}! It would also pair nicely with a side salad or to be enjoyed all by itself!
