Time 9h5m

Yield 1 panini

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons apricot preserves
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 piece Perfect Grilled Chicken (thawed if frozen), recipe follows
2 slices good, thick sourdough bread
2 slices provolone cheese
4 fresh sage leaves
1/4 red onion, sliced very thin
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups olive oil
6 tablespoons honey
3 heaping tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground thyme
2 teaspoons ground oregano
Juice of 12 lemons
24 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, add the apricot preserves and mayonnaise and stir to combine. Slice the Perfect Grilled Chicken into strips.
  • To build the sandwich, spread both slices of bread with the apricot-mayonnaise spread. On one half, lay a slice of cheese, the chicken strips, sage, red onion slices and the second slice of cheese. Put on the top piece of bread and spread softened butter on both sides of the sandwich.
  • Grill the sandwich in a hot panini maker until golden and crisp. (If you do not have a panini maker, you can grill the sandwich in a skillet, laying another heavy skillet on top of the sandwich to press it together. Turn to grill the other side in the same way.)
  • Mix together the olive oil, honey, mustard, salt, thyme, oregano and lemon juice in a large shallow container.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to uniform thickness and add them to the marinade. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken in batches until golden brown on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side and cooked all the way through, another 4 to 5 minutes. Let the chicken cool.
  • Transfer the chicken to freezer bags individually and in pairs, so it's easy to defrost the exact amount you need.

I would not recommend this recipe. It was a lot of work and the end result was not worth it.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little bland and the glaze was too sweet for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry.

I had some trouble finding apricot preserves, but I was able to use apricot jelly instead and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The glaze is not too sweet and the chicken is cooked perfectly.

This is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had! The chicken is so juicy and tender, and the apricot glaze is to die for.
