INGREDIENTS
- 2 pieces, chicken breasts or thighs
- 3 tbsp Zeytin Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 slices bread
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbsp pistachio pesto, recipe here
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, marinate chicken by adding olive oil, lemon juice, diced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Toss to coat and marinate overnight (for the most flavor - you can marinate for as little as 2 hours).
- Grill the chicken over medium-high heat, about 3-5 minutes per side (or until golden brown and cooked inside). Set aside.
- Prepare the sandwich by placing chicken, tomato, mozzarella cheese. Spread a generous amount of pistachio pesto using Peppertux Unsweetened Pistachio Butter inside the bread and melted butter on the outside.
- Using a panini maker, press down on the sandwich for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese slightly. Enjoy!
