Yield Makes 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup coarse salt
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
8 slices sourdough bread
1/4 cup Spinach-Basil Pesto
1/2 cup Roasted Peppers, chopped
8 ounces fresh mozzarella or buffalo mozzarella, sliced

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups water to a gentle simmer. Generously salt water. Add thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and pepper. Add chicken and simmer until chicken registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from heat and let chicken cool in liquid. Store chicken in liquid, covered and refrigerated, until ready to use.
  • Preheat a sandwich press according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Remove chicken breast from poaching liquid and thinly slice; divide evenly among 4 slices of bread. Spread pesto on top of chicken; top with peppers and mozzarella. Sandwich with remaining 4 slices of bread and place on sandwich press. Close the lid and apply slight pressure; cook until bread is golden and cheese is melted, 5 to 8 minutes. If bread is sticking to the press, continue to cook and bread will unstick itself. If press is generating more heat from the bottom, flip the sandwich halfway through cooking.
  • Remove sandwich from press and cut in half before serving.

This panini was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

This panini is also great for meal prep. I make a few at the beginning of the week and then reheat them for lunch throughout the week.
