Chicken-Mozzarella Panini

This recipe calls for grilled chicken.  I guess you could grill chicken before assembling the paninis, but I don't have the patience for that.  We usually grill a lot of chicken when we grill so that we have extra to put in the freezer and pull out when we need it - that's the route I usually go with this.  I'm sure it tastes even better freshly grilled, though!

Chicken-Mozzarella Panini

prepared pesto
mayo
thin chicken cutlets, grilled (with whatever seasonings you prefer)
fresh mozzarella slices
ciabatta rolls
olive oil

Spread pesto and mayo on both the top and bottom roll. Add the chicken and mozzarella, and then brush olive oil on top of the roll.  Grill the sandwich on a panini press or indoor grill until cheese is melted and the sandwich looks done (sorry - that's just the way I do it!).
