Steps:
- Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, basil, rosemary, salt, and pepper for marinade together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip over and continue to cook until golden brown, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Slice chicken into 1/4-inch thick pieces or leave whole if desired.
- Preheat an electric grill (such as George Foreman®) for medium heat.
- Assemble panini by spreading mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on 1/2 of the bread slices. Layer each slice with equal amounts of tomato, onion, chicken, bacon, and mozzarella cheese and top with remaining bread. Butter the outsides of the sandwiches.
- Cook on the preheated grill until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, 5 to 8 minutes.
