Balsamic Chicken Sandwich (Or Panini) image

A friend of mine and I once made this from a recipe we found in a cooking magazine, but lost the recipe. I found it again, so I'm putting it here so as not to lose it again. It calls for ciabatta bread, but anything light with a good crunchy crust will be as good. It's also great grilled panini-style.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
2 ciabatta rolls, sandwich size
2 tablespoons goat cheese
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1/2 red onion
1/4 cup roasted red pepper
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper chicken breasts.
  • Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
  • Cook chicken until no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken, keep warm.
  • Add wine, sugar, and vinegar to pan, increase heat to high, reduce until thick and syrupy.

  • You may have sauce left over. Save it. It's great on steaks, too.
