Roasted Chicken Pesto and Shiitake mushroom on Flat Bread

        So I was at Starbucks near Roxas Blvd a while ago. While eating my all-time favorite Roasted Chicken Pesto and Shiitake Mushroom on Flat Bread I realized, "I love this sandwich so much why don't write something about it?" Lol. I don't think I have to explain what's in it because c'mon, the name says it all. :) But for the others who wants to see what it looks like, here..

     

       This sandwich cost 165php, it might be expensive for some, but I think it's worth every penny. 
      
       The aroma and flavor of the chopped basil and olive oil is good. Adding roasted chicken to it makes it better.         
       
       To make your own Roasted chicken Pesto and Shiitake Mushroom on Flat bread from scratch, I'll give you one of my recipes. :)
