Ingredients

• 1 piece Boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 slices Whole wheat panini bread
• 1 ounce Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.25 cup Roasted red pepper slices
• 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Rub the chicken breast with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3

Place the chicken breast on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and there is no pink in the center. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, preheat a panini press or another grill pan for the sandwich.

Step 6

Spray one side of each slice of whole wheat panini bread with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 7

Assemble the panini by layering the sliced chicken, mozzarella cheese, fresh spinach, and roasted red pepper slices between the uncoated sides of the bread.

Step 8

Place the sandwich on the panini press (or grill pan) with the sprayed sides facing outwards. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the panini from the press, slice in half, and serve immediately.
