Description
Chipotle Chicken Panini Panera is a warm, crispy sandwich filled with juicy chicken coated in smoky chipotle sauce and melted cheese. The bread turns golden and crisp while the inside stays soft, rich, and satisfying.
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
4 sandwich rolls or panini bread
1 cup shredded cheese
2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Heat a pan with olive oil and cook chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully done, then let rest before slicing.
2. Place sliced chicken in a bowl and mix with chipotle sauce until evenly coated.
3. Slice the panini bread and add a layer of shredded cheese on the bottom half.
4. Add the chipotle chicken evenly over the cheese, then top with another light layer of cheese.
5. Close the sandwich and place it in a pan or press over medium heat.
6. Cook until the bread turns golden and crisp and the cheese melts inside, flipping if needed.
7. Remove from heat, let rest briefly, then slice and serve.
Notes
Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the bread.
Layer cheese under and over the filling for better melting.
Let the sandwich rest before slicing to keep the filling in place.
