Mediterranean Chicken Panini Recipes

Steps:

• Heat your panini press or pan to med. high - high. Brush one side of each piece of bread with olive oil. Cut the chicken into thin strips.
• Place bread, olive oil side down. Place a layer of provolone, then spread a thin layer of olive tapenade. Add a layer of chicken, a layer of tomato slices and then a layer of the chorizo. Top with another piece of bread, olive oil side out. Repeat for additional sandwiches.
• Place sandwich on pan or press, cooking till both sides are golden brown (with a pan, you'll need to flip the sandwich). Cut in half and serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the sandwich spread: In a small bowl, combine dried tomatoes and the boiling water. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer undrained tomato mixture to a food processor. Add roasted red peppers, balsamic vinegar, oregano, garlic, and black pepper. Cover and process until smooth.
• Lightly coat an unheated panini griddle, covered indoor electric grill, or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat according to manufacturer's directions or preheat over medium heat. Add chicken. If using griddle or grill, close lid and grill for 6 to 7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. (If using skillet, cook chicken for 10 to 12 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once.) Cool chicken slightly; split each chicken piece in half horizontally and cut crosswise into 2-inch-wide slices.
• Spread the sandwich spread on cut sides of rolls. Place chicken on the roll bottoms. Using a vegetable peeler, cut very thin lengthwise strips from the zucchini. Place zucchini strips on top of the chicken. Place roll tops on top of the zucchini, spread sides down. Press down lightly. Lightly coat the top and bottom of each sandwich with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place sandwiches on griddle, grill, or skillet, adding in batches if necessary. If using griddle or grill, close lid and grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until bread is toasted. (If using skillet, place a heavy saucepan or skillet on top of sandwiches. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until bottoms are toasted. Carefully remove saucepan or top skillet-it may be hot. Turn sandwiches; top again with the saucepan or skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more or until bread is toasted.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Sauté vegetables and garlic in olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, or until vegetables have softened. Drain vegetables before adding to egg mixture.
• Combine liquid eggs and cooked vegetables in a medium bowl. Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Cool. Cut into 8 slices.
• Spread pesto on bread slices. Cover the bottom slice with a slice of cheese then with egg slice and another slice of cheese. Top with remaining bread, pesto slice down.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush 1 side of bread with olive oil. Arrange sandwiches oiled side down skillet. Brush top side with oil. Cook until golden brown and cheese has melted, pressing down occasionally with spatula, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat a panini grill.
• Slice each quarter of focaccia bread in half horizontally. Spread each half with pesto. Layer bottom halves with equal amounts chicken, bell pepper, onion, and cheese. Top with remaining focaccia halves, forming 4 sandwiches.
• Grill paninis 5 minutes in the preheated grill, or until focaccia bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Whisk olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, vinegar, tarragon, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs, onion, baby bell peppers, and potatoes. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
• Transfer vegetable-chicken mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Scatter lemon slices over the vegetables, making sure to leave the chicken uncovered so that the skin will brown.
• Bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and top with feta, parsley, and olives.
