We have a garden full of fresh basil most of the year, which in turn means we always have a freezer full of pesto. That’s a very good thing, since pesto is a mealtime lifesaver. It gives zip and zing to anything from pasta to rice and really distinguishes this mouthwatering panini.
4 teaspoons Everyday Basil Pesto
4 slices sandwich bread
2 slices mozzarella cheese
1 cooked chicken breast, sliced
1. Preheat a panini maker.
2. Spread 1 teaspoon of the pesto on each slice of bread.
3. Layer cheese and chicken on 2 of the slices and top with the remaining slices.
4. Place each sandwich in the panini maker for 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown and crisp.
5. Cut into quarters and serve.
