A wholemeal toastie with chicken, cheese and pesto brings an Italian twist to your protein-rich lunch. The toastie grills golden brown and crispy, the lean cheese melts smoothly and a touch of green pesto adds an aromatic, spicy depth. Together with the chicken fillet and fresh spinach, it becomes a savoury toastie that tastes rich without lying heavy on the stomach.

In Phase 4 of the protein diet the focus is on maintenance, where protein and sensible carbohydrates stay in balance. The chicken fillet and lean cheese together deliver a substantial dose of protein, whilst the wholemeal bread adds slow carbohydrates and fibre. That combination keeps you full and your energy stable, so you can easily stick to the habits of this phase.

Lovely with a fresh tomato salad with basil or a handful of rocket with balsamic on the side.

Zo maak je het

  1. Spread one slice of wholemeal with the pesto.
  2. Top with spinach, chicken and grated cheese.
  3. Place the second slice on top and press gently.
  4. Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Fry the toastie on both sides until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  6. Cut in half and serve hot.

Bewaren

This toastie is best eaten straight from the pan while it's at its crispiest. We don't recommend keeping it as the pesto softens the bread.

Variatietips

Try swapping the green pesto for red pesto made with sun-dried tomatoes. Using thin slices of mozzarella instead of mature cheese makes the toastie extra Italian.
