CHICKEN CORDON BLEU PANINI SANDWICH

Provided by Mel's Kitchen Cafe

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces cream cheese (light or regular, softened)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise or sour cream
4 slices French bread (see note)
4 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup shredded cooked chicken (see note)
4-6 thinly sliced deli ham
Salt and pepper or garlic/herb seasoning - (see note)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Dijon mustard and mayo (or sour cream) until smooth.
  • For each sandwich: spread sauce on both sides of the bread (I spread a light coating on the outside of the bread and a more generous dollop on the inside of both pieces). Sprinkle the outside of each piece of bread with a bit of salt and pepper or a garlic/herb seasoning blend and place the pieces of bread seasoning side down.
  • Continue layering one slice of bread with a slice of Swiss cheese, cooked chicken, a couple slices of deli ham, and a final slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the other slice of bread (seasonings on the outside).
  • Cook the sandwich on a preheated panini press or on a hot griddle or skillet on the stove until golden and the cheese is melted. If using a skillet or griddle, flip as needed to cook through - you can also weigh the sandwich down with a heavy pan or skillet for a panini-like effect. Serve warm.

I made this recipe up when i was trying to use up some leftovers. I tried to dress the flavors up as much as i could by marinading the chicken, peppering the bacon before warming it up, and adding the banana peppers. Hope you enjoy!

I have a local eatery who makes an amazing flatbread sandwich. This panini is based on their chicken pesto sandwich. I recommend pane turano, or you may use a sturdy sourdough.

Tips

Just be sure to weigh them down with a heavy object, such as a cast-iron skillet or a pot filled with water. - Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, a green salad, or tomato soup.
