BEST CHICKEN PANINI



Best Chicken Panini image

I have a local eatery who makes an amazing flatbread sandwich. This panini is based on their chicken pesto sandwich. I recommend pane turano, or you may use a sturdy sourdough.

Time 2h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup olive oil
1 medium lemon, juiced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried basil
1 sprig fresh rosemary, or to taste, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (16 ounce) package bacon
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, or to taste
8 slices Italian bread
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 slices mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons salted butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, basil, rosemary, salt, and pepper for marinade together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip over and continue to cook until golden brown, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Slice chicken into 1/4-inch thick pieces or leave whole if desired.
  • Preheat an electric grill (such as George Foreman®) for medium heat.
  • Assemble panini by spreading mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on 1/2 of the bread slices. Layer each slice with equal amounts of tomato, onion, chicken, bacon, and mozzarella cheese and top with remaining bread. Butter the outsides of the sandwiches.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, 5 to 8 minutes.
