INGREDIENTS
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
0.5 medium Zucchini
0.5 small Eggplant
0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
3 Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper into even pieces.
Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper and grill over medium heat until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side), then slice thinly.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices on a pan or in a toaster.
Spread the basil pesto on one side of each slice of bread. Layer the grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, fresh basil leaves, and mozzarella cheese between the bread slices.
Press the assembled sandwich in a panini press or on a skillet with a heavy object until the cheese begins to melt and the bread is crispy on the outside.
Slice the panini in half and serve warm.
