Classic Chicken Panini
Makes 2


2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
¼ Teaspoon Salt-Free Seasoning Blend
2 Tablespoons Reduced-Fat Mayonnaise or Salad Dressing
1 Teaspoon White or Flavored Vinegar
¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 Whole Wheat English Muffins, Split
2 Slices (¾ Ounce Each) Mozzarella Cheese
2 Thin Slices Red Onion
½ Plum (Roma) Tomato, Cut Into 4 Slices

  1. Heat closed medium-contact grill for 5 to 10 minutes.  Sprinkle chicken with seasoning blend. Place chicken on grill.  Close grill; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170ºF).
  2. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mayonnaise, vinegar and garlic powder.  Spread on English muffin halves.  Place chicken on bottoms of English muffins.  Top with cheese, onion, tomato and tops of muffins.
  3. Place sandwiches on grill.  Close grill, pressing to flatten sandwiches; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until sandwiches are toasted.



Tip:
Regular tomatoes can take the place of the plum tomatoes, but they add more moisture to the sandwiches during grilling.  Try other types of cheese, such as reduced-fat Swiss, provolone or Cheddar, in this sandwich.
