Best Chicken Panini image

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.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Panini image

For all its simplicity, this panini is really something yummy... and a little spicy! And if you don't have a panini maker, don't fret! Just grill the sandwich in the skillet with a second (heavy) skillet on top of it to press it together. It'll make you feel inventive and nifty.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 26

8 slices crusty French bread
4 tablespoons softened butter
2 whole chicken breasts, Cut In Half From Top To Bottom
garlic powder
salt
pepper
chili powder
blackening seasoning
red pepper
spicy mustard
peppercorn ranch dressing
4 slices thick monterey jack cheese
8 slices pepper bacon, Cooked Until Chewy And Cut In Half
diced tomato
diced onion
diced green pepper
1 teaspoon ground basil
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt (sea salt is better)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin

Steps:

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, red pepper, and the blackening seasoning.
  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to a pan and cook the chicken breasts until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Slice into strips or shred, and set aside.
  • Cook the bacon.

(If you do not have a panini maker, you can grill the sandwiches in a skillet, laying a heavy skillet on top of the sandwich to press it together. Turn to grill the other side in the same way.).
