Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Red Onions

    Slice the red onion thinly and marinate in balsamic vinegar for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a bit of olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Panini

    On one slice of rustic bread, spread a generous amount of kale pesto. Layer with sliced chicken, provolone cheese, sliced roma tomatoes, and balsamic red onions. Top with another slice of bread.

  4. 4

    Grill the Panini

    Heat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. Brush the outside of the bread with olive oil. Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted. If using a skillet, press down with a heavy pan.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the panini from the heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
