Instructions

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Slice chicken in half horizontally to form thin fillets. Season with salt and pepper.

Coat grill/skillet with oil. Add chicken and cook until cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Wash, seed, and cut bell peppers into short strips.

Return grill/skillet to stove. Add peppers and cook until tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to plate with chicken.

Peel and mince garlic. In a small bowl, prepare the spread by mashing together garlic, goat cheese, vinegar, and oregano.

Slice buns/rolls in half.

Thinly slice chicken into strips.

Spread the goat cheese mixture onto each of the bun/roll halves. Top bottom halves with a few arugula leaves, chicken, and ½ of the bell peppers (save the rest for the salad). Close with top halves.

Place sandwiches on grill/skillet and carefully flatten using a panini press or something heavy. Cook until browned and crispy on the bottom, 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side, another 1-2 minutes.

In a large bowl, prepare salad dressing by whisking together oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Wash and dry arugula and tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes into thin wedges. Add arugula, tomatoes, and remaining bell pepper to bowl with dressing. Toss salad.

To serve, cut panini in half and place on a plate with salad on the side. Enjoy!
