Grilled Chicken Panini

I became a bigger fan of sandwiches when I started to grill them. For this panino I flattened and seasoned a chicken thigh and then grilled it. After toasting the bread, I built a simple sandwich, only garnishing it with some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Romano cheese. This sandwich would be even better with lettuce and fresh tomato. You can make panini as simple or complex as you like. For me, toasting the bread on both sides makes them extra delicious.
There is no recipe for this panino on my web site. It's a simple sandwich of bread, chicken and cheese. However, here is the formula for the coating mix I used on the chicken:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried basil; ground
1 teaspoon dried marjoram; ground
2 teaspoons pepper
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional 1 tablespoon MSG (monosodium glutamate)
I also use this coating mix when I make Finger Lickin' Chicken, which you can watch with this link:

I usually make a lot of this and store it in a large container. I use it occasionally when I want to make fried chicken.

Genius idea to use the tortilla press for the chicken Dennis! Another delectable looking sandwich!!!

Thanks Mea. I was hoping people would appreciate my use of that tortilla press. It gives me a laugh to squash chicken with it. -Dennis

I am one of the few who have been fortunate enough to have eaten Dennis's food. It is truly excellent. I'm looking forward to trying making this myself.

Thanks Eric. I've changed his thinking about meat loaf and eggplant parmesan. -Dennis

I had an absolutely wild night, but your videos can calm me down so quick.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Good. I'm pleased you enjoyed some benefit from the video. Thanks for the comment Michael. -Dennis

[@jcboom6894]

I just love the crunch you get making them with the press. Who but you would think to use the tortilla press to flatten the chicken? No one!!

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Thanks JC. That gave me a pleasant chuckle. -Dennis

Good to see you making more videos. What a great idea using the tortilla press to flatten the chicken.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Thanks Bob. One more sandwich to publish, then I'll change to another path. -Dennis

[@SGuy889]

thanks Dennis. another little video. I am going to make some chow mein today, due to seeing another video on KZbin.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Yum. Chow mein sounds delicious right now. Enjoy your dinner. -Dennis

Oh... and also... "Frilly Toothpick" was my stripper name in the late '70s. But I have a feeling you knew that already.

Lol I made a chicken pannini yesterday. I have had a George Forman grill for several years and use it for my pannini, so strange that this popped up.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Thanks Nel. I looked into buying one of those grills, but storage is such a problem. I only recently discovered grilled sandwiches and I really enjoy them. -Dennis

[@beefandpork]

You could make a sauce for that sandwich too.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Interesting. Today a friend and I talked about possible dipping sauces for panini. It's good to know you were thinking along the same lines. --Dennis
