A quick and easy chicken panini with sundried tomatoes and a basil pesto mayo. All the amounts of the sauce and spreads are approximate and should be done to your personal taste. If you don’t have a panini press, use a grill pan and weigh the sandwich down with a heavy skillet – flip halfway through (or just cook like a grilled cheese).
