Black Bread and Grilled Chicken Panini with Olive Tapenade
Makes 2 panini
• 4 slices hearty black bread
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts,
pounded thin
• 1/2 sweet onion, nely sliced
• 2 - 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese (or any
cheese of your choice)
• 1/2 tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
• Olive oil
• Olive tapenade (recipe follows)
1. Condition grill plates with olive oil before use.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to MAX. Preheat Grill.
3. When the green READY light illuminates, turn the temperature control down to MED.
4. Place chicken breasts and onions on the lower grill plate. Close and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or
until chicken turns from pink to opaque white. Check at 3 minutes. If not fully cooked, lower top
grill plate and continue grilling. Do not overcook.
NOTE: Cooking times will vary due to the thickness of the chicken. Cut through the center of the
thickest piece of meat to check for doneness.
5. While the chicken cooks, prepare panini. Spread all 4 pieces of bread with olive tapenade.
6. When grilling is done, turn the temperature control to OFF.
7. Remove chicken and onions from Grill.
8. Allow Grill to cool and, wearing an oven mitt, wipe the grill plates.
9. Turn the temperature control dial to MAX and allow Grill to reheat. When the green READY light
illuminates, turn the temperature control dial down to MED.
10. Brush the outsides of the bread with olive oil and place 2 pieces of bread onto the Grill, tapenade
side up. Stack grilled onions, avocado, tomato slices, chicken and cheese onto the bread.
Top with the remaining bread, making sure that the oiled side is facing up.
11. Lower top grill plate onto the bread, making sure it lies evenly on the panini sandwiches.
Cook until golden brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
