INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
1/4 medium Eggplant (roasted)
1/4 medium Zucchini (roasted)
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper (roasted)
2 Tomato slices
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 ounce Feta Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your panini press or grill pan over medium heat.
Prepare the vegetables by slicing eggplant, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Toss lightly in olive oil (optional) with salt, pepper, and dried herbs, then roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of dried Italian herbs. Grill the chicken until fully cooked, approximately 6-8 minutes per side, then slice thinly.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices. Spread a generous tablespoon of basil pesto on one side of each slice.
Layer the roasted vegetables, tomato slices, and grilled chicken on one slice of bread. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
Close the sandwich with the second slice, pesto-side down, and place it in the panini press or grill pan. Press and cook for 4-5 minutes until the bread is golden and the filling is warmed through.
Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
