This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I also like to add a slice of bacon to my panini for extra flavor.

I don't have a panini press, so I cooked my sandwich in a skillet. It turned out just as well.

I made this panini in my panini press. It worked great and the sandwich was cooked evenly.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from my panini. I also added a slice of avocado instead.

I had trouble finding pesto at my local grocery store. I ended up using a basil pesto sauce that I found in the refrigerated section.

The bread was a little too hard for my liking. I think I would have preferred a softer bread, like a ciabatta or focaccia.

This panini was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices or herbs.
