CHICKEN MOZZARELLA PANINI WITH RED PEPPERS AND ONIONS
I got a Cuisinart Panini Grill and just put together my favorite chicken fajita ingredients, instead of rolled in a tortilla shell it is placed layer by layer onto fresh Ciabatta bread and topped with oregano and pesto. An Italian touch to fajitas. I recommend getting the Ciabatta rolls at Costco- they are fresh and delicious! My family LOVED them. Each panini is a very large and filling sandwich. Might want to split in half and share one!

Steps:
- Flatten chicken breasts and season them with Natures Seasoning and Olive oil. Let marinate while doing the next steps.
- Cut the red peppers into 5 wedges per pepper so they can lay flat on grill or you can substitute sliced sun dried tomatoes right out of the jar instead of peppers. These are ready to put right on the sandwich without grilling if you prefer.
- Slice the red onion into rings.
- Coat the onions and peppers with olive oil.
- Heat up your grill for panini on high. I use the Cuisinart Griddler I just got and it is excellent because it adjusts evenly to the thickness of whatever you are cooking.
- Season chicken with Morton Natures Seasoning and oregano. Grill the chicken breasts first- 2 at a time with top of grill down which will leave perfect grill lines. Take off when done and put on plate.
- Grill red peppers (flat) and next grill the red onion rings. Place on plate.
- Clean off grill. I add a little olive oil or Pam to grill with a piece of paper towel before grilling sandwiches.
- Spread a good amount of the Pesto on the top half of each sandwich.
- Layer the panini. Chicken breast, Red pepper or sun dried tomatoes, Red onion slices, 1 slice of mozzarella cheese - Make sure everything fits perfectly within the size of the bread you are using.
- Top each panini with the top half you have already spread the Pesto on.
- Carefully place the sandwiches on grill (I can fit 2 at a time) and smoosh down if needed. Bread will have lines, cheese will be melted, and the sandwich will be nice and hot and perfect when ready!
- There are other variations to this. My son is not crazy about Pesto -- so he just used Chicken, Mozzarella cheese and Paul Newman's jarred Marinara sauce and sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce on his instead and Loved It!
- A Chicken Parmesan Panini!

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful bell peppers for the best taste. Bell peppers come in a variety of colors, including red, orange, yellow, green and purple. For this recipe, any color will work, so choose the ones that look the freshest and most vibrant.
- Roast the bell peppers until they are slightly charred and tender. This will help bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the bell peppers, simply place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the skins are blackened and blistered.
- Use fresh mozzarella cheese for the best results. Fresh mozzarella cheese is soft, creamy, and has a delicate flavor that pairs perfectly with the roasted bell peppers and chicken. You can find fresh mozzarella cheese at most grocery stores in the dairy section.
- Serve the panini immediately after it is grilled. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey, and the bread is crispy. You can serve the panini with a side salad or a bowl of soup.
Conclusion:
This Chicken Breast with Roasted Peppers and Mozzarella Panini is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. The roasted bell peppers add a smoky and sweet flavor to the sandwich, while the mozzarella cheese provides a gooey and creamy texture. The chicken breast is cooked to perfection and adds a lean protein to the sandwich. This panini is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
