Chicken Panini

If you have one, a panini press is the best tool for preparing this recipe. However, a grill pan (or even a large skillet) can also be used. Use a clean heavy cast iron skillet or a spatula to press down on the roll while toasting for best results.
Tip: For best results, cut the ciabatta rolls in half prior to assembling. They are much more difficult to cut once assembled and toasted.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Yields 4 sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 4 ciabatta rolls, cut in half lengthwise
• 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and sliced thin
• 4 oz. cheese sliced Potato chips, to serve (optional)
• *peach jam, optional for spread or dipping

Directions:
1. Top half of the rolls with the chicken breast, and sliced cheese. Add remaining bread on top to form a sandwich.
2. Heat a large grill pan over medium heat and add the sandwiches. Press down on the sandwiches with a spatula or a clean heavy cast iron skillet for better contact while grilling.
3. Heat until the bread is toasted, approximately 4-5 minutes, before carefully turning the sandwiches. Repeat on the remaining side until toasted, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. Serve immediately
