Bat the chicken out thinly between two sheets of cling film. Marinate in olive oil, lime juice and black pepper for 1/2 hour.

Cut the veggies into sticks and arrange on a plate.

Mix the guacamole ingredients together and spoon into a bowl.

Grill or cook on a griddle or barbecue until cooked and slightly charred.

Cut the panini rolls in half and put the cut sides on the griddle to toast. Arrange the chicken, leaves, sliced tomatoes and basil leaves on the bottom halves. Add a dollop of pesto and put the tops back on.

Serve with the veggie sticks and the guacamole dip.
