Grilled Italian Chicken Panini with Homemade Basil Pesto

This was so delicious and easy! It’s a great way to use up leftover chicken- or do like I did and get the Tyson’s grilled chicken. Already cooked, makes it easy!

I found the Garlic Naan Flatbread at Aldi. Here’s the recipe for homemade Basil Pesto:

A handful of Basil leaves

Tablespoon of Garlic

1/4tsp pepper

1/4 tsp salt

About a cup of olive oil, more if needed 

Blend in blender until thick but chopped. 

Now, to assemble the sandwiches! 

Cut Flatbread in half. Layer mayo on one side and Basil Pesto on the other. Then, add argula or any good dark green lettuce. Then top with chopped or pulled chicken, red onion slices, tomatoes and shredded Italian blend cheese!

Grill, on a cast iron grill pan with panini press, or toast up in a regular pan just to warm up that cheese! Enjoy!
