Ingredients

▢ Bread (sourdough, ciabatta or sandwich bread)
▢ Pesto
▢ *Cooked chicken (sliced (season with salt and pepper))
▢ Mozzarella cheese (sliced)

Instructions

Set stovetop grill or a skillet to medium heat. Assemble sandwich by spreading pesto on one piece of bread. Top with sliced chicken. Layer on the mozzarella and top with a piece of bread. Drizzle olive oil over skillet’s surface and place sandwiches on the hot skillet.
Place another heavy skillet over the top to form a “press.” Turn after 2 to 3 minutes and replace weight. The sandwich is ready when golden brown and mozzarella has melted around the edges.

Notes

*You’ll need about 1 chicken breast per 2 panini’s. I grilled my chicken but you can cook it however you'd like.
