Recipe for chicken pomodoro panini?

I've become obsessed with Panera Bread's chicken pomodoro panini...does anyone have a recipe similiar to it??? Thanks!Recipe for chicken pomodoro panini?
INGREDIENTS:


4 large, firm, sun-ripened garden tomatoes


1/4 cup olive oil


12 fresh basil leaves, 8 shredded, and 4 whole


1 clove garlic, crushed


2 mozzarella balls (about a half pound, or 200 g, drained), cut into 8 slices


Salt and pepper to taste


PREPARATION:


Crush the garlic, mix it with the oil and the shredded basil, season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper, and let it rest 10 minutes. While doing this, turn on your broiler.





Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise, drain them, and put them in an oven-proof pan, skin-side up.





Run the tomatoes under the broiler for a minute or two, flip them, and broil the other sides as well. Arrange the slices of mozzarella on half the tomato halves, cover them with the other halves, and run the tomatoes under the broiler for a few seconds more, until the mozzarella begins to soften.





Arrange the tomatoes on plates, drizzle the pan drippings and a few more drops of oil over them, garnish with the whole basilRecipe for chicken pomodoro panini?
The Panera version doesn't use whole tomatoes and also uses chicken. It doesn't seem anything like the recipe above. There's a closer match here
