Tuscan Pressed Chicken

Made with classic Mediterranean ingredients, including garlic, basil and olive oil, our Tuscan grilling paste and drizzle give a flavor boost to simple chicken breasts.

  • Ingredients:

  • · 2 whole boneless chicken breasts or 4 boneless chicken breast halves, skin on

  • · 1⁄4 cup Tuscan grilling paste

  • · Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • · 2 Tbs. Tuscan grilling drizzle

  • Directions:

  • Using a meat pounder, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of ½ to ¾ inch.

  • Spread the grilling paste on both sides of the chicken and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  • Place in a baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.

  • Preheat an electric panini press according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  • Place the chicken, skin side up, on the preheated panini press, close the lid and cook until the juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a knife, 5 to 7 minutes.

  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into slices ½ inch thick. Arrange on a warmed platter and sprinkle with the grilling drizzle.

  • Serve immediately.

notes:

Pair them with mashed potatoes or soft polenta for a simple yet satisfying meal. Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness helps them cook quickly and uniformly.
