Begin by spreading a generous layer of pesto on one side of each slice of thick Italian bread.

Layer half of the cooked chicken breast onto the un-pestoed side of one slice of bread. Follow with slivers of red onion, roasted red peppers, and a hearty sprinkle of low moisture mozzarella.

Preheat your panini press according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which usually takes about 5 minutes.

Carefully place the stuffed sandwich onto the preheated panini press. Close the lid and grill for 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Once the Italian Chicken Panini is grilled to perfection, carefully remove it from the press. Let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half diagonally.
