    Grilled Chicken Pesto Panini,If you have an electric panini maker then use it for this, if not you need two skillets, one heavy cast iron skillet or similar for the top to weigh down the panini. This makes a perfect lunch or light dinner. Plan ahead the chicken needs to marinade for 1 hour before cooking….this works with a George Foreman grill, just make certain to hold down on the top lid firmly while cooking to ensure toasting the bread, or maybe you are lucky enough to own a panini maker, then you will not need the heavy skillet for the top. Double the recipe if desired. You will love this!,Out of this world delicious!,Man, oh man…was this good! One of the best sandwiches ever. used PERDUE® FIT & EASY® Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Thin-Sliced, which made my job very easy. It was the perfect bread-to-meat ratio with outstanding flavors. Thank you.
