Chicken Parmisan Panini


I enjoy a good chicken parmesan occasionally, but sometimes, I need to stay away from the pasta that usually accompanies it. Haha. So, a Chicken Parmesan Panini seems like a good alternative. You can use whatever kind of bread you like, and still get the yummy goodness of chicken with melted cheese and tomato sauce. And, you can eat it with your hands. ;)

Inredients:
-Chicken breast (enough to feed everyone. I can usually get 1.5 to 2 sandwiches out of one breast), cooked and sliced thinly
-Tomato pasta sauce (about 2-3 tablespoons per sandwich)
-slices of mozzarella cheese (I used two per sandwich)
-Bread- two slices per sandwich. :)

Direction:
On each piece of bread, place one slice of cheese, then spread a nice spoonful of sauce on top of it (keeps the bread from getting soggy, and the cheese holds the sandwich together). Place a layer or two of the chicken slices on one piece of cheese and sauce covered bread. Place the other cheese and sauce covered slice on top to form the sandwich. Grill the sandwich until the bread is slightly browned and toasted and the insides are all melted and gooey and hot and yummy. I use my panini press, but you can do it in a skillet or on a countertop grill, whatever you have. Serve immediately. Yummmm.
