Ingredients

5 Panini Breads
500 g Chicken Boneless
150 g Cheese Mozzarella
2 tbsp Oil
1 Onion
1 Bell Pepper
1 tbsp Tomato Puree
tbsp Mayonnaise
tbsp Tomato Ketchup

Marination

1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Garlic Paste
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp Chilli Sauce

Instructions

Cut up the boneless chicken into small bite-sized chunks then add into a bowl along with the ingredients for marination (See Note 1).
In a pan heat up 1 tbsp oil on medium heat until hot then add the marinated chicken mixture
Cook for 6-8 minutes until the chicken has changed colour
As the chicken is cooking finely dice the onion and bell pepper then add into the pan and cook for a further 4-5 minutes
Finely dice the tomato then add into the pan along with the tomato puree and cook for another 2-3 minutes
Once the chicken mixture is cooked slice the panini breads lengthwise then add the tomato ketchup and mayonnaise (See Note 2).
Add the chicken mixture to the panini along with mozzarella cheese.
In a grill pan add the oil then brush evenly over the pan and allow to heat up before adding the panini then grill for 2-3 minutes on both side until lightly charred. (See Note 3)
Serve with a side of French fries and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1 – You can set it aside and let it marinate, the longer the chicken is left to marinate the better the flavour.

Note 2 – We used mayonnaise and tomato ketchup but you can use any sauce of your preference. If you prefer, you can also add chilli sauce or even replace it with bbq sauce.

Note 3 – This recipe can easily make five paninis, or if you prefer to use less chicken then it can also make six paninis.
