This delicious Grilled Chicken Panini with Zucchini, Tomato, and Mozzarella highlights end-of-summer vegetables on sour dough bread.
There’s something about a hot sandwich that just feels more satisfying sometimes especially when you add protein like I did in this Grilled Chicken Panini. With the grilled chicken, this sandwich has 26 grams of protein! I usually use sour dough bread because it contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than many other breads. I served this for dinner with some tomato soup, which was so delicious. Some other panini recipes you might want to try are this Eggplant Panini with Pesto, Asparagus Prosciutto Panini with Garlic Mayo, and Chicken Arugula Provolone Panini with Chipotle.
A panini is a pressed sandwich served hot with melted cheese. You don’t need a panini press to make this, simply press it down with a heavy skillet.
I used sourdough for this panini, but ciabatta or focaccia are also good choices.
This sandwich has six ingredients:

Season zucchini with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Spray with oil and add the zucchini, grill on each side about 2 minutes each, until grill marks form. Set aside.
Spray one side of each slice of bread.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Place 2 slices of bread oiled side down on the skillet.
Top each piece of bread with 1 ounce of cheese, divide the zucchini on top, grilled chicken, tomato slices and basil and the remaining cheese.
Top with the remaining bread oil side up. Use a heavy pot or skillet to press it down and cook until the bottom piece of bread is golden, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Use a spatula to carefully flip the sandwich over. Cook until the other slice of bread is golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Cut in half diagonally and serve with your favorite soup.
