Panini Ingredients
Method
Preparation

Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Panini
While the chicken is resting, slice the ciabatta bread in half. Layer one side with sliced grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and fresh basil leaves. Top with the other half of the ciabatta bread.

Grill the Panini
Preheat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, you may need to use a weight on top of the panini to press it down. Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
