Steps:

• PREPARE THE CHICKEN
• Slice each chicken breast into 2 pieces widthwise across the grain.
• Rinse each chicken breast piece with cold water and place them between two pieces of plastic wrap. (Do not pat dry)
• Use a meat pounder to pound each piece of chicken to about a 1/4 each thick.
• Transfer the chicken breasts on a baking sheet placing them in a single layer.
• Season each slice of chicken with salt, pepper and chili flakes on both sides.
• Mix together the minced garlic and chopped sage then rub this over both sides of the chicken breasts.
• Drizzle the lemon juice and the oil on both sides of the chicken breasts while rubbing the meat to coat all over.
• Cover and refrigerate the chicken for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small frying pan heat about 1/4 cup of vegetable oil till hot and fry the sage leaves for about 5 seconds on each side. Take care not to brown them otherwise they will be bitter.
• Transfer the fried sage leaves to a tray lined with paper towels till ready to use.
• Reserve the oil to brush over the sliced buns and toast in the oven @ 350 degrees F for about 5 minutes.
• While the breads are toasting, remove the chicken from the fridge.
• Grease a ridged grill pan with oil and heat until hot.
• Arrange the chicken breasts on the hot grill pan, taking care not to crowd the pan and grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. (this will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken slices)

• Drizzle the grilled chicken with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and start assembling the Panini.
• Spread the panini halves with the artichoke pesto and top with a layer of lettuce, prosciutto and grilled chicken.
