BEST CHICKEN PANINI
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
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.

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.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of mustard on one half of the bread. Spread a generous amount of ranch dressing on the other half. (Definitely be generous; when the sandwich cooks, these will turn into more of a "sauce.").
- Arrange chicken, bacon slices, and cheese slices on the bottom half. Top with the top slice. Butter both sides of the bread generously, then grill in the panini maker. (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.).
- Slice in half and gobble it down immediately.
