Chicken Panini

This sandwich is perfect for lunch or dinner. All you need is a few ingredients and even if you don’t have a panini press just lightly spray the bread with oil and use a George Forman grill and it’s ready in minutes. You could even use a pan on the stove and use a kitchen slice to press it down. The video shows you how to make delicious chicken pesto paninis with veggies and melted cheese built right in.
