Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices low-carb bread slices
• 4 slices sliced mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 medium tomato
• 1 medium avocado
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, slice the tomato and avocado.

Step 6

Butter one side of each slice of low-carb bread.

Step 7

Slice the cooked chicken breasts thinly.

Step 8

Assemble the panini by spreading dijon mustard on the non-buttered side of the bread. Layer sliced mozzarella cheese, baby spinach, sliced chicken, tomato, and avocado. Top with another slice of cheese, then close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

Step 9

Heat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 10

Place the sandwich on the panini press and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using a grill pan, press the sandwich down with a heavy pan or spatula.

Step 11

Remove the panini from the heat and let it cool slightly before cutting in half and serving.
