How to make this Grilled Chicken Pesto Panini?
This quick and simple sandwich/panini is prepared using ingredients that you always have on hand. We start by marinating the chicken first.
Chicken pieces are rubbed with a delicious seasoning made merely out of common spices, such as crushed cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, black pepper, oregano, paprika, etc. I heaved ample amounts of this coating onto the chicken breast thickly covering it with a layer of this.
Allow the chicken to marinate for 20 minutes. After, its resting time it’s grilled to perfection. Meanwhile, assemble rest of the ingredients. The other main ingredient present in the sandwich is Pesto.
Pesto, in my opinion, is one of the most delicious ingredients to be used in the making of a sandwich. It’s coarse texture perfectly blends with the smooth and soft feeling of the Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse® Hearty White Bread.
BEST COMBOS!
Combining pesto + grilled chicken along with some other delectable ingredients can create the ultimate sandwich that will appease anyone. Apply a thick layer of pesto to both the Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse® Hearty White Bread pieces. Layer the bottom slice with cheese of your choice.
For me, I have used mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula to create the perfect mixture of tastes within the sandwich. Feel free to customize your sandwich in any way you like.
All in all, I believe this sandwich/panini will delight anyone who eats it. Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse® Hearty White Bread soft texture and delicious taste will seduce anyone into devouring the sandwich down quickly. I can’t keep raving about this here, so you will have to try it for yourself.
