We made chicken paninis based off of a recipe found here. Sliced turkey didn't sound so appealing to our taste buds, so we switched it out for boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed and lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. We also used Italian bread instead of rolls. Other than that, we followed the recipe exactly.
It was delicious! The mayo with basil and garlic was like a mayo-pesto...creamy goodness. The onions cooked low & slow in butter brought out the sweetness that paired well with the spiciness of the garlic in the mayo.
Adam boiled some baby carrots with some salt and pepper added at the end...but I ate my carrots raw with a tiny bit of ranch. Carrots are the only veggie I like raw - I love the crunch! We completed our plate with some applesauce and called it a meal. This will be a nice go-to when we're short on time and/or patience.
