Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Marinate chicken overnight in the refrigerator in the Chicken Marinade.
  2. Prepare a grill for cooking or heat a saute pan over medium heat. Grill or saute chicken breasts over medium heat until cooked through.
  3. While chicken is cooking, spread 1 tablespoon Walnut Pesto on each of 4 slices of the panini rolls and 2 tablespoons Chipotle Aioli on each of the other 4 slices.
  4. Remove chicken from grill and build each sandwich by placing a chicken breast on top of the bread with Walnut Pesto, then a tomato slice and 2 pieces of cheese, 1 tablespoon Three-Onion Marmalade, and topped with the bread with Chipotle Aioli.
  5. Chicken Marinade:
  6. 2 jalapeno peppers
  7. 2 limes, juiced
  8. 1/8 cup chopped Italian parsley leaves
  9. 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
  10. 1 cup olive oil
  11. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and combine on high for 2 minutes or until smooth. Transfer to a 13 by 9-inch non-reactive baking dish or other flat container. Add chicken breasts to dish, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  12. Walnut Pesto:
  13. 1/4 cup walnuts
  14. 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
  15. 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
  16. 1 1/2 tablespoons Parmesan
  17. 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  18. 1/4 cup olive oil
  19. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  20. Spread walnuts on a small sheet pan and toast in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Place all ingredients, except oil, in a blender and process until smooth. Slowly add the oil and continue to puree for 1 minute. Set aside.
  21. Chipotle Aioli:
  22. 1/2 cup good-quality mayonnaise
  23. 1/4 teaspoon crushed garlic
  24. 1 tablespoon chipotle puree, see Cook's Note*
  25. Mix mayonnaise, garlic, and chipotle puree in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
  26. *Cook's Note: Chipotle puree can be found in small cans, sold as chipotle peppers in adobo sauce at major supermakets.
  27. Three-Onion Marmalade:
  28. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  29. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  30. 1/4 yellow onion, julienned
  31. 1/4 red onion, julienned
  32. 1/2 tablespoon chopped jalapeno pepper
  33. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  34. 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  35. 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  36. In a large skillet, heat the oil over a medium-high flame and lightly brown the garlic, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the yellow and red onions and cook until wilted. Add the pepper, sugar, and vinegar, lower the heat to medium, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
