Grilled Chicken Panini

Ingredients                                                     

2nos Focaccia

4nos Marinated chicken breasts (Marinade: Sea salt, crushed peppercorn, white wine, olive oil & fresh oregano)

60gms Arugula & Romaine lettuce

30gms Tomato slices

30gms Cucumber slices

30gms Sauteed onion rings

Mustard sauce

Crushed peppercorn to taste           

Sea salt to taste      

Oil for grilling      

Soft Butter                                 

Method

Heat the grill plate, place the chicken breast, and sear from both sides.

Place it on a greased baking tray, and cook it for ten minutes in a pre-heated oven.

Cut the focaccia parallelly from the middle. Apply butter on focaccia and toast it.

Take the focaccia base, and place the lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber.

Slice the grilled chicken evenly and place it on top of the vegetables. Squeeze mustard sauce.

Top it with sautéed onions and cover it with the focaccia top.

Apply butter on the grill and grill the panini. Press lightly.

Serve it with french fries/potato chips and garden greens.

Note:

Sea salt is a better option, though any salt can be used.

Chicken breast can be cooked on the grill plate as well, cover it with a lid and cook it for approx. 20minutes on medium heat.

Cooking in the oven gives a good consistency to the meat.

Use chicken thigh if you prefer juicy meat.

We can add enhancers like olives, jalapenos, gherkin, sun-dried tomato, etc in the filling along with vegetables.
