Chicken, Basil, Roasted Red Pepper Panini

Chicken, Basil, Roasted Red Pepper Panini


1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook in broiler or grill 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through. Set aside and cover with foil to keep warm.

2. Slice panini and place in heated broiler with outsides up. Broil 1-2 minutes until outside is warm and firm.

3. Flip panini over. Place slices of red pepper and goat cheese on top slice. Place cheddar cheese on bottom slice. Return to broiler for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crusty.

4. Take out of broiler. Place basil on top of cheddar cheese and chicken on top of basil. Put the top slice of bread on top of chicken.

5. Place sandwich on cutting board. Put clean dishtowel on top of sandwich and a heavy fry pan on top of that to "squish" the sandwich. Let sit for 2 minutes.

6. Slice the sandwich. Serve with a salad or a vegetable side (pan seared asparagus would be good).
