 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

CHICKEN PESTO SANDWICH

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 ciabatta rolls
• 1/4 c. pesto
• 1 tomato, thinly sliced
• 4 oz. fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Season chicken with oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Add chicken  to skillet and cook until golden and cooked through, 7 minutes per side. Remove from pan. 

Step 2

Build panini: Slice ciabatta rolls in half, then spread about ¼ of the pesto on bottom half of each roll. Top with tomato, chicken, and mozzarella. Spread remaining pesto on the top half of each roll. 

Step 3

Heat a grill pan with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and add one panini. Cook until bottom is golden and cheese is starting to melt, 5 minutes. Flip then place a heavy skillet on top of sandwich and press down to flatten panini. Cook until golden and cheese is completely melted, another 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining panini.
