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 :)
