Tips:

  • For a vegetarian version of this panini, replace the chicken with grilled or roasted vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • To make the paninis ahead of time, assemble them and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, preheat the panini press and cook the paninis according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • If you don't have a panini press, you can grill the paninis in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled panini in the skillet and weigh it down with a heavy object, such as a cast iron skillet or a heavy pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the paninis hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, pesto, or ranch dressing.
