I’m in love with the flavor combination of this grilled chicken panini made on Ciabatta bread. Made with melted provolone, arugula and a spicy chipotle mayonnaise.
This sandwich is perfect for lunch or dinner. You can easily prepare this for one or a family of eight!
A panini press is on my Christmas list this year. But not having one has never stopped me from making paninis before. I lightly spray the bread with oil and use my George Forman grill and it’s ready in minutes. You could even use a grill pan on the stove and place an iron skillet on top to press it down.
And if you are new to my site, don’t forget my tip to scoop some of the inside of the bread out for a bigger sandwich with less calories!
