Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let it rest.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a bowl, combine the chipotle aioli ingredients (mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic powder, and lime juice). Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On a slice of panini bread, spread a generous amount of chipotle aioli. Layer with grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, and provolone cheese. Top with another slice of panini bread.

  4. 4

    Press the Sandwich

    Heat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the press or pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the press, slice it in half, and serve warm with additional chipotle aioli if desired.
