Prepare the Panini

For Pesto Chicken

Spread pesto sauce on one side of each ciabatta slice. Layer shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and tomato slices on one slice. Top with the other slice.

For Chipotle BBQ Chicken

Spread chipotle BBQ sauce on one side of each ciabatta slice. Layer shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and tomato slices on one slice. Top with the other slice.

Grill

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Prepare the Salad or Fries

For Salad

In a bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Toss with your favorite dressing.

For Home-Cut Fries
