INGREDIENTS
2 slices Whole Wheat Panini Bread
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
1 ounce Fresh Mozzarella
1/3 cup Assorted Roasted Vegetables
1.5 tbsp Basil Pesto
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat and season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely marked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and your favorite dried herbs. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Assemble the panini by spreading the basil pesto evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Layer the sliced grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and fresh mozzarella on one of the bread slices.
Top with the second slice of bread pesto side down.
Heat a panini press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grill the assembled sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down gently, until the bread is golden and the mozzarella starts to soften.
Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
