1. The pesto: Place roasted red bell peppers in the bowl of a food processor.

3. Pulse until combined.
4. While the food processor is running, slowly pour in olive oil.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Set the pesto aside.
7. The panini: Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
8. Season chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
9. Grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
10. Remove from the grill.
11. Let rest 10 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch slices, crosswise.
12. Set aside.
13. Cut summer squash lengthwise into four 1/2-inch slices.
14. Place in a medium bowl and toss with olive oil, remaining kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
15. Place on the grill and cook until tender, but not mushy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
16. Cut ciabatta rolls in half horizontally.
17. Spread each side of rolls with 1 tablespoons of the pesto (2 tablespoons per roll).
