Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients for the best results. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and high-quality cheese.
Cook the chicken properly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before assembling the panini. This will help prevent the spread of bacteria.
Don't overcrowd the panini press: If you are using a panini press, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the panini from cooking evenly.
Serve the panini immediately: Paninis are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.
