Chicken Panini's

You'll need a panini maker for this one. This recipe works well with any leftover chicken in the refrigerator. There's nothing quite like a cheesey chicken sandwich, especially on a cold day...

Ingredients:
Panini bread or sliced French bread
1 pkg. grilled chicken breasts or 1 cooked rotisserie chicken
(leftover chicken works well, too)
1 stick butter
1 jar of pesto spread
1 onion
2 T cooking oil
1 pkg. Mozzerella cheese
1 pkg. Colby jack cheese or Monterey Jack cheese

Recipe:
Start by heating a frying pan to medium and cooking the onions
In the oil for 10 minutes, or until opaque. Set aside.
Heat the Panini maker.
Spread butter on the inside of each piece of bread, and a little on the
Outside of each piece as well.
Spread pesto on one of the slices.
To assemble, place chicken on the bread, cover with both cheeses.
Put some sautéed onions on top of the cheese and cover with the other slice of bread.
Place in the Panini maker and cook for 2 min., no matter when the “ready” light goes on.
Slice and serve.
