Basil Chicken Panini

This recipe has a few steps to it. For the chicken you want to use thin cut chicken breast. For the marinate I used a food processor. In the processor place in paprika, fresh basil, olive oil, few cloves of garlic, salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the marinate for about 10 minutes and then cook in the oven for about 20 minutes on 375 and broil for the last 5 minutes making sure to flip chicken over once throughout the cooking process.

For the spread I processed some fresh basil, sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, a little bit of mayonnaise, salt and pepper. I brushed this spread on the slices of bread. I used an artisan style bread, but you can use the bread of your choice. For the toppings I included some fresh arugula and a little bit of thin cut red onions. I only used the panini maker for the bread slices, however you can build your panini sandwich and then press the entire thing.
