Time 35m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast half
2 teaspoons lemon juice, divided
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
1 pinch Italian seasoning, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ medium onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped roasted red pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup fresh spinach
2 slices whole wheat bread
1 slice reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Poke a few holes in the chicken and season with 1 teaspoon lemon juice, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add to the hot skillet and cook, flipping occasionally, until no longer pink in the center but not fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
  • Add onion, red peppers, and garlic to the hot skillet. Add more seasonings if desired, and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken back to the skillet; cook and stir for 3 minutes.
  • Preheat a panini maker and lightly oil both sides.
  • Mix spinach in a bowl with remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Add chicken and veggie mixture to the spinach and mix it around.
  • Place a slice of bread on the preheated panini maker. Put chicken mixture on top, followed by Cheddar slice and remaining bread. Toast the sandwich until bread is brown and crispy and cheese it mostly melted, 4 to 6 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your panini taste its best. Look for ripe vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and high-quality bread.
  • Don't overcrowd the panini press: If you overcrowd the press, the panini will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the ingredients so that they can cook properly.
  • Cook the panini until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the panini is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Serve the panini immediately: Panini are best enjoyed fresh out of the press. Let them cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Panini are a delicious and versatile lunch or dinner option. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, so there is sure to be a panini that everyone will enjoy. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious panini at home that is just as good as anything you would find at a restaurant.
