Grilled Chicken Tomato Mozzarella Panini

A few weeks ago, I shared on one of my Ten Thankful Things weekend posts a picture of a grilled chicken panini and promised to share the recipe here with all.

The Ingredients

The Ingredients

Well, today is the day that I will indeed post up this awesomely, delicious recipe here.

This one is quite perfect for this time of the year and must admit we are huge fans of panini’s here.

Grilling the Chicken

Grilling the Chicken

The first time we ever tried one was from our local pizzeria when we first were married.  But nowadays, it is so much easier and cheaper for us to make this panini in the convenience of our own home.

All Ready to Begin Assembling

in reality, we actually have been making this one for quite sometime and probably should have written it up our recipe sooner here, but I guess it kind of escaped me.

This sandwich is easy to make and indeed fairly inexpensive, too.

I don’t usually make it for the kids to be quite honest, but for the perfect meal for two (they never seemed to take interest in it and this is usually a cheese quesadilla night for them), I can usually keep it between $10-$15 for one meal for us.  That is cheaper then going out for a meal at the likes of Burger King or McDonald’s even and definitely healthier for sure.

And yes it is quite tasty, too.

What more could you want from a sandwich?

      We have a George Forman Grill and Panini press pan for the oven, too. So, we have all our bases covered and seriously one of my favorite meals and all started when we got engaged, because the Italian restaurant near us made them and we totally would get the all the time. Then we totally realized doing them ourselves would totally be cheaper!

  4. The Dose of Reality says

    Look good and I swore the first recipe I saw today was going to be dinner. Good thing the kids love chicken:) lol. THANKS!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Lol, right now I am still trying to clean up cupcake crumbs from dessert from the girls at lunch!!! But dinner seems like a lifetime away with me on my way to taking them to school and heading back there this afternoon for my younger one's Thanksgiving Harvest Feast party!! But hope you do try tonight and enjoy!! 🙂

  12. tamaralikecamera says

    Always so glad we have a panini press! And I was so happy to see that you used fresh mozzarella. The other stuff is like plastic. Fresh mozz is my favorite food on earth. There's a famous place for it in Hoboken and our friends bring it up here for New Year's..and I nearly cry.

      Tamara, more we have in common, because I love fresh mozzarella. Seriously cannot get enough of it and will tell you a funny side side story. A few years ago, I was making tomato and fresh mozzarella salad for Kevin and I. Usually I will pick out the fresh mozzarella, because I can't help myself. That night I was picking out the tomato, which I could take or leave (Kevin is the tomato lover). I found out the next day that I was pregnant with Emma. My first ever pregnancy craving, lol!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Totally my pleasure Judy and thank you so much for hosting as always. And if you are celebrating Thanksgiving, want to wish a wonderful holiday, too!! 🙂

  17. stephanie2006 says

    Looks delicious, Janine! Something to keep in mind as a late spring dinner for the family (sans the chicken for me). Hope you have a great day and thanks for sharing the recipe!

  18. day-with-kt.com says

      I know you are and love that we have this in common. Trust me, I have to expand my panini recipes, too and may need to what other ones I can find possibly on Pinterest now, too!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks so much for pinning this recipe for me and also for hosting. So happy, I could link up with both you and Michelle, this past week! Have a wonderful weekend now!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks so much Diane for hosting again and was seriously so happy to linkup and I love ciabatta bread, as well 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      We actually use our George Forman Grill and sometime even my grilling pan with a heavy pot lid over. So, trust me you can definitely grill in a pan and hope you do try. Thanks again for hosting and love linking up with you all!! 🙂
