Instructions

  1. Slow-Cooked Chicken: Mix Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small cup. Brush chicken with olive oil; rub seasoning mixture all over chicken. Put wine and garlic in a 4 1/2- to 6-quart slow-cooker; add chicken thighs in a single layer, bone side down. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 4 hours, or until fork tender.

  2. Remove from cooker; let stand until cool enough to handle (chicken can be cooked up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated). Remove bones; tear chicken into large pieces.

  3. Panini: Assemble sandwiches on focaccia with chicken, roasted peppers, and provolone. Spray sandwiches with olive oil cooking spray. Grill sandwiches in a panini press or sandwich grill, or on a stovetop grill pan with a heavy skillet on top. Grill sandwiches until bread is lightly toasted and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Why this Tuscan Chicken Panini works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Tuscan Chicken Panini that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
