Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 loaf of sourdough bread (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce (homemade or canned)
  • Couple sprigs of fresh basil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat your griddler or panini press on high or sear.
  • In a shallow dish, pour the breadcrumbs in it, add a little salt and pepper, mix it up. Set aside.
  • In a ziploc bag, pound out the chicken tenderloins, gently, until they're flattened.
  • Cover the chicken in breadcrumbs and cook in a skillet on medium high heat until they're cooked through & browned on both sides.
  • Assemble your panini: butter the slices of bread on the outside (the sides that will be touching the panini grill). On one slice of bread, place the chicken on it and spread a medium thick layer of marinara sauce and put the basil on top, on the other slice of bread, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Put the 2 halves together and put on panini press for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread has nice grill marks on it.
  • Remove from panini press or griddler and cut in half and serve hot :)
