CHICKEN BACON RANCH PANINI

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, red pepper, and the blackening seasoning.
• Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to a pan and cook the chicken breasts until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Slice into strips or shred, and set aside.
• Cook the bacon.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of mustard on one half of the bread. Spread a generous amount of ranch dressing on the other half. (Definitely be generous; when the sandwich cooks, these will turn into more of a "sauce.").
• Arrange chicken, bacon slices, and cheese slices on the bottom half. Top with the top slice. Butter both sides of the bread generously, then grill in the panini maker. (If you do not have a panini maker, you can grill the sandwiches in a skillet, laying a heavy skillet on top of the sandwich to press it together. Turn to grill the other side in the same way.).
• Slice in half and gobble it down immediately.

CHICKEN AND BACON PANINI WITH SPICY CHIPOTLE MAYO

Steps:

• For the Spicy Chipotle Mayo: Add all ingredients into a food processor and puree until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
• For the Panini: Turn the oven to broil. Place the tomato slices on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place into the oven and roast the tomatoes until the top is slightly charred. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Note: This step may be skipped and replaced with slices of avocado.).
• Heat a panini grill or grill pan on medium heat. Spread a little bit of butter on one side of each piece of the bread.
• Evenly distribute the chicken, cheese, bacon and tomatoes (or avocado slices) on top of two slices, butter side down.
• On the other pieces of bread, spread some of the chipotle mayonnaise on the side that is not buttered. Place on top of the sandwich. Place the sandwiches on the grill. If you are using a grill pan, place a heavy pan on top of each sandwich.
• Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Gently flip the sandwich over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
