Ingredients
  • Chicken nuggets – 8
  • Mayonnaise of your choice – 4 tbsp
  • Cheese slice – 4
  • Fresh Romaine lettuce – 4 leaves
  • Bread of your choice (multigrain/white) – 4 slices
  • Butter - 2 tbsp, softened (but not melted)
Instructions
  1. First we need to cook the chicken nuggets. You can either cook them traditionally i.e. by deep frying. But I would suggest air frying them if you own an air fryer. That way you can cut down a significant amount of oil which are unnecessary calories.
  2. Once your nuggets are fried, we will be assembling the chicken nuggets panini. This recipe is mostly about assembling.
  3. Take a clean chopping board and place 2 slices of bread. Spread softened butter evenly on one side of both the slices. Then flip them over to load the panini.
  4. On the other side of each of the slices, spread an even layer of the mayo of your choice. Then place a couple of lettuce leaves on each slice.
  5. On top of lettuce, place one cheese slice. Then place 4 nuggets on each of the bread slices. Next place another cheese slice on top of the nuggets.
  6. Now we will cover the panini with the other slice of bread; but before that, spread an even layer of the mayo on one side of each of the other 2 slices. Then cover the assembled panini keeping the mayo side facing down.
  7. Finally evenly spread softened butter on the top of the bread slices. Butter will help browning the panini and crisp up the breads.
  8. Preheat your sandwich griller if you have one handy or heat a griddle/tawa. Once hot, place the panini inside the grill and cover with top press. Let them grill for 5 minutes or until the breads are golden brown and crispy.
  9. If you are grilling them on tawa, then place the panini on the tawa and cover it with aluminum foil. Then place a heavy object like a bowl filled with water on top of the foil so that your panini remains pressed. Let them grill for 5 minutes on low heat; then flip over and repeat the same pressing process.
  10. Once your chicken nuggets panini are evenly grilled and crispy, take them out and cut diagonally to make sandwich triangles. Serve the delicious panini with ketchup and enjoy!
