Italian Chicken Panini
Tried this delicious panini for a weekend lunch, and my family devoured it! The pesto really brings the flavor to life!
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick slices of Italian bread
- 2 tablespoons pesto sauce
- 1 breast chicken, cooked and halved
- 2 tablespoons slivered red onion
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced roasted red peppers
- 4 ounces low moisture, part-skim mozzarella cheese
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Spread a generous amount of pesto on two slices of thick bread.
- Layer one half of the chicken breast on each slice of bread, then sprinkle slivered red onion, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Place another slice of bread on each sandwich to close them up.
- Preheat your panini press and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
- Carefully place the sandwiches in the press and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Once the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are heated through, take them out and slice them in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
