Chicken club panini + bonus meals

It was requested that I post this.
I'm not much of a cook but I made this up the other night and they came out so good.

I used a George Forman type grill for everything.

Boneless skinless chicken breast - 1 good sized breast is enough for 3 sandwiches
Olive oil - enough to coat the chicken breast.
Onion powder - This is key to flavor.
Fresh chopped sweet basil from your Aerogarden - about a teaspoon
Fresh chopped purple basil from your Aerogarden - about a teaspoon
Fresh chopped parsley from your Aerogarden - about half a teaspoon
Salt - to taste.
Smoked Gouda Cheese - you can use what you like but this really gives the sandwich a good smokey flavor. It's really good.
A slice (or two if your not watching your fat intake) of cooked bacon per sandwich.

Optional - a thin slice of tomato per sandwich. I don't care for tomato on grilled sandwiches but I'm sure a lot of you do so it may be a good to add.

Fresh finely chopped chives
Butter softened - enough to spread on your bread slices.
Sour dough bread.

Start heating up the grill.
Coat chicken breast with olive oil.
Sprinkle both sides with onion powder.
Mix the chopped basils and parsley together and rub on the both sides of the chicken breast.
Sprinkle both sides with a little salt.
Grill on the pre-heated grill until done. This only takes a few minutes. Too long and it dries out.

While the chicken is grilling mix the softened butter and finely chopped chives to make a compound butter.
Spread the compound butter on at least on side of each slice of the bread... both if you don't care about the fat.

When the chicken is done slice it into thin slices.

Place the chicken, cooked bacon, cheese and tomato slice on the bread making sure that the buttered side of the bread is on the outside.

I then wiped my grill clean and grilled the sandwiches right in there. My grill has a heavy lid so I didn't need to add weight to press the sandwiches but if yours doesn't just put a teakettle or pot with some water in it on the top to press. If you don't have a grill or panini press you can just cook them in a frying pan with a tea kettle on top but you won't get the cool looking grill lines in the sandwich and you'll have to turn them to cook the other side. Cook until golden brown and cheese is melted.

For easy bonus meals double or triple the chicken breast and herbs and grill them at the same time.

Bonus meal 1

Grill up some extra oiled and seasoned chicken breast. Refrigerate overnight.
The next day chop up the chicken breast some fresh onion and celery and mix with mayo. This makes a very tasty chicken salad for a sandwich or on a bed of lettuce (from your Aerogarden)

Bonus meal 2
After refrigerating over night chop the extra chicken breast and make a salad from your salad greens and tomatoes adding in the chopped cooked chicken. I like to add red onion, croutons and some fresh grated parmesan cheese.
