Chicken and Mushroom Panini

Ingredients

• •2 chicken breasts, pounded thin
• •8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• •2 tbsp butter
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •4 slices provolone cheese
• •4 slices ciabatta or panini bread
• •2 tbsp olive oil
• •1 tsp Italian seasoning
• •to taste Salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet and cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and slice.
2. 2In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and sauté sliced mushrooms with garlic for 4-5 minutes until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
3. 3Assemble paninis: place chicken and mushroom mixture on one slice of bread, top with cheese and another bread slice.
4. 4Brush the outside of each sandwich lightly with olive oil.
5. 5Preheat a panini press or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side until bread is crispy and golden and cheese is melted.
6. 6Remove from heat, let cool for 1 minute, and serve immediately.

💡 Cook mushrooms until their liquid evaporates before building the panini; otherwise the bread steams from inside and loses its crisp crust.
