4. Move veggies over to side and grill chicken breasts, about 4 minutes on each side until no pink left in middle.

  1. Chicken is a well-loved ingredient to any dish. This chicken panini recipe is an example that will surely be enjoyed by everyone. This can be served in special occasions, catering Fort Lauderdale events (for example), or even for simple meals at home. Thanks for sharing.
