GRILLED CHICKEN PESTO PANINI



Grilled Chicken Pesto Panini image

If you have an electric panini maker then use it for this, if not you need two skillets, one heavy cast iron skillet or similar for the top to weigh down the panini. This makes a perfect lunch or light dinner. Plan ahead the chicken needs to marinade for 1 hour before cooking....this works with a George Foreman grill, just make certain to hold down on the top lid firmly while cooking to ensure toasting the bread, or maybe you are lucky enough to own a panini maker, then you will not need the heavy skillet for the top. Double the recipe if desired. You will love this!

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, and pounded thin
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups roasted red peppers (bottled or canned)
4 slices provolone cheese (sliced thick)
1/2-3/4 cup pesto sauce (bottled or homemade)
8 slices Italian bread (sliced 1/2-inch thick, can use about 4 x 4-inch ciabatta rolls in place of the Italian bread)
olive oil, for brushing on bread

Steps:

  • Pound the chicken fillets until thin between two pieces of waxed paper, then marinate in oil, garlic, pepper and Italian seasoning for about 1-1/2 hours.
  • Heat a grill pan or sauté pan (the breasts can also be grilled on the BBQ).
  • Season the breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the chicken on medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.
  • Remove from pan and place on a plate or board.
  • Top each fillet with some of the roasted peppers and a slice of cheese.
  • Spread BOTH sides of the bread with pesto sauce.
  • Place chicken inside the bread and form to a sandwich.
  • Brush both sides of the outside of bread with olive oil.
  • Heat a grill pan or a 10-inch skillet on medium high heat. Place the panini in the pan (only 2 at a time).
  • Weigh the panini down with another heavy skillet and then top with a heavy can (a very large can of tomato juice works great for this!) cook for about 3 minutes, or until bread is toasted.
  • Turn the panini, and weigh it down again with a heavy skillet and a can on top, and toast for another 3 minutes.
  • Remove from pan and cut in half.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup walnuts
Kosher salt
2 small heads broccoli, cut into florets (about 3 cups)
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon juice, from half a lemon
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
8 slices rustic bread
4 chicken cutlets
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice, from half a lemon
1 to 2 large beefsteak tomatoes, sliced into thick rounds and halved

Steps:

  • For the pesto: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast, tossing once, until fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer the cooked broccoli to an ice bath and let cool, about 3 minutes. Remove from the ice bath and drain well. Transfer the broccoli to a food processor. Add the garlic, walnuts, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and process until finely chopped. With the machine running, gradually pour in the olive oil. Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Cover and set aside.
  • For the sandwich: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Grill the bread until toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Season the chicken cutlets with the pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and drizzle with the olive oil. Place the cutlets on the grill pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Squeeze the lemon juice over the cooked chicken while it is still on the grill pan. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, spread about 1 tablespoon of the pesto on each slice of bread. Place 2 pieces of tomato on 4 of the slices. Top the tomatoes with the chicken cutlets and the remaining slices of bread. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.
  • Cook's Note: The pesto makes more than enough for the sandwiches. It can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
