Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 slices Whole wheat panini bread
- 1 ounce Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup Roasted red pepper slices
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Rub the chicken breast with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Place the chicken breast on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and there is no pink in the center. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly.
While the chicken is resting, preheat a panini press or another grill pan for the sandwich.
Spray one side of each slice of whole wheat panini bread with non-stick cooking spray.
Assemble the panini by layering the sliced chicken, mozzarella cheese, fresh spinach, and roasted red pepper slices between the uncoated sides of the bread.
Place the sandwich on the panini press (or grill pan) with the sprayed sides facing outwards. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the panini from the press, slice in half, and serve immediately.
