Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 boneless skinless chicken cutlets, thinly sliced
salt and pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, drained and chopped
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
4 (6 inch) submarine rolls, halved lengthwise
8 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook half of cutlets until lightly browned and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate and repeat with additional 1 Tablespoon oil and remaining cutlets.
  • Pulse red peppers, olives, basil, garlic and 1 Tablespoon oil in food processor until coarsely chopped. Spread pepper mixture evenly over both sides of rolls. Layer half of cheese and 2 chicken cutlets over each roll bottom. Top with remaining cheese and roll tops.
  • Wipe out skillet. Heat remaining oil over medium-low heat until just shimmering. Arrange panini in skillet and top with large Dutch oven. Cook until bottoms of sandwiches are crisp and cheese is beginning to melt, about 3 minutes. Remove Dutch oven, flip sandwiches, replace Dutch oven and continue to cook until crisp on second side and heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve.
