Preparation

On barbecue, under broiler, or in a toaster oven, grill chicken over medium heat for 6 to 12 minutes. Turn once halfway through cooking.

Cut chicken in thin slices. Spread pesto on each half of panini. Fill each panini with chicken, 3 basil leaves, mushrooms, sliced pepper and Canadian Mozzarella. Heat on grill, or in a frying pan, flattening with a spatula.

Tips

Enjoy this panini with jalapeño-flavoured Canadian Havarti or Canadian Feta and replace basil with spinach leaves.
