Chicken Pesto Panini (VIDEO)

Probably the best sandwich I have had since the last best one I had haha

I modified the heck out of this one:
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/87211/chicken-pesto-paninis/

1 focaccia bread, quartered (I just used really good bakery fresh bread)
1/2 cup prepared basil pesto (go get my recipe & make some!!)
1 cup diced cooked chicken (I used deli sliced chicken)
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper (I had red bell pepper)
1/4 cup diced red onion (I used mild white onion)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (I had a MJ blend)


Directions:
1. Preheat a panini grill (I used my George Foreman Grill!!).
2. Slice each quarter of focaccia bread in half horizontally. Spread each half with pesto. Layer bottom halves with equal amounts chicken, bell pepper, onion, and cheese. Top with remaining focaccia halves, forming 4 sandwiches.
3. Grill paninis 5 minutes in the preheated grill, or until focaccia bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.

This is all once again a lesson of USE WHAT YOU HAVE!! I often swap out things for recipes, though I try hard, when filming these recipes, to have what is called for. This day I just did not care 😉 And the results were OSM (I learned that is newest way of abbreviating awesome recently). lol
