Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread. A sturdy bread like ciabatta or sourdough will hold up well to the fillings, while a softer bread like focaccia will provide a more delicate flavor.
  • Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly. This will help to prevent foodborne illness and ensure that the chicken is safe to eat.
  • If you don't have a panini press, you can use a grill or a skillet to cook the sandwich. Just be sure to press down on the sandwich with a spatula to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and honey mustard.
