    Make the Pesto Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, pesto, olive oil, and a bit of salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

    On a slice of ciabatta bread, spread a generous layer of pesto aioli. Layer with sliced grilled chicken, prosciutto, ricotta, arugula, and roasted red peppers. Top with another slice of ciabatta.

Grill the Panini

  1. 4

    Grill

    Heat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, press down the sandwich with a heavy pan. Grill for about 3-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
