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.

4 slices ham
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup milk

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, pound it to an even thickness before cooking.
  • For a crispy and golden brown panini, use a panini press or a heavy skillet with a lid.
  • If you don't have a panini press or a heavy skillet, you can cook the panini in a regular skillet over medium heat, pressing down on it with a spatula to flatten it.
  • If you are using a skillet, be sure to grease it lightly with butter or oil to prevent the panini from sticking.
