Pesto Chicken Panini

Here is my first recipe. I hope you all enjoy! :) 

I just purchased a new 4 in 1 grill by Farberware and I absolutely love it! You can use it as a grill, griddle, and panini press. Yes, I am the type of woman to get excited over kitchen equipment!

First, let's start with the needed ingredients. 

You can use any brand you would like, but I love shopping at Aldi for groceries. They are super cheap, but I can't always find everything I need there.

Red Roasted Peppers - WalMart

Tomato Basil Pesto - Aldi

Provolone Cheese - WalMart

Real Mayonnaise - Aldi

Bacon - Aldi

Sliced Chicken - Frozen from Aldi

Ciabatta Sandwich Rolls - WalMart

*Note: I like to buy bags of frozen chicken breast and precook it. I place the chicken in a slow cooker along with salt, pepper, garlic, and chicken broth. Cook on low for at least 4 hours. Remove chicken and allow to cool. Slice chicken and place in individual freezer bags. 

Pesto Mayo Sauce 

2 tsp. Pesto for every 1 Tbsp. of Mayo

Thoroughly cook bacon and chicken. I used about 2 slices of bacon on each sandwich.

Spread both sides of the ciabatta roll with Pesto Mayo Sauce. Place cheese on top and bottom of the roll. Layer with chicken, bacon, and sliced roasted red peppers. 

Close sandwich and cook on panini press.

The best thing about this recipe is the only thing you have to measure is for the Pesto Mayo Sauce.

I hope you love this as much as our family did!
