Chicken Tender Panini and Tomato Chutney
Ingredients
1 Bakery baguette
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato spread (from Produce)
1/2 cup pineapple preserves
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
4 (1-oz) slices provolone cheese
1 lb Deli fried chicken tenders
Butter cooking spray
Prep
- Preheat 2-sided tabletop grill.
- Cut bread diagonally into eight long 1/2-inch-thick slices, using whole loaf except ends.
Steps
- Prepare chutney by combining tomato spread, preserves, and vinegar in microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH 30 seconds to soften; mix until well blended.
- Spread chutney on one side of each bread slice. Layer half of bread slices (chutney-side up) with cheese and chicken tenders. Top with remaining bread slices; gently compress sandwiches to flatten for grilling.
- Coat sandwiches with cooking spray; place on grill and press lid down firmly. Cook 5–6 minutes, occasionally pressing lid, until crisp and golden. Cut sandwiches in half. Serve with extra chutney for dipping.
