INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 serving (2 slices) Whole Grain Panini Bread
1 oz Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup Roasted Vegetable Medley
2 tbsp Basil Pesto
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss a selection of sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant, and red onion in a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, grill or pan-sear the chicken breast seasoned with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Italian herbs until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once cooked, let rest and then slice thinly.
Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Assemble the panini by spreading basil pesto on both slices of whole grain bread. Layer with roasted vegetables, sliced grilled chicken, and top with fresh mozzarella cheese.
Place the assembled sandwich in the press or skillet. If using a skillet, press down with another heavy pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is toasted and the mozzarella begins to melt slightly.
Remove the panini from the heat, slice in half, and serve immediately while warm and delicious.
