Paneer/ Chicken Pesto Panini

pesto_panini_main

 

This recipe is a favorite in our home and so easy.! I’ve even used individual sub rolls and regular sliced bread when I don’t have Italian bread, and this recipe is always a hit! If you happen to like more tomatoes and less cheese, go for it. If you want to leave out some of the spices, or add a few more of your own, just do it!

You don’t  need a panini press to make a sandwich like this, any sandwich maker or griddle will work just fine. . I highly recommend using a ball of fresh mozzarella rather than packaged sliced mozzarella because the creaminess of the fresh is sooo good.

Panini’s make some of the best hot party appetizers around and they are so easy to create. Simply make your favorite panini sandwiches and cut them into bite sized pieces.
