For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin spread of Dijon mustard or a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Experiment with different cheeses such as provolone, mozzarella, or even a smoked Gouda for a unique twist. If you don't have a panini press, you can achieve similar results by using a large skillet or grill pan and pressing down with a heavy object like a cast iron skillet. Ensure even cooking by not overcrowding the panini press.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy and golden brown (6-8 minutes). Drain on paper towels, reserving a teaspoon of bacon fat for added flavor (optional).
02
StepAssemble the Panini: Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each bread slice. On two slices, layer the roasted chicken, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bacon. Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise-side down.
03
StepPress the Panini: Preheat a panini press according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Place the assembled paninis in the press and cook until heated through, the cheese is melted and gooey, and the bread is golden and crisp (5-7 minutes).
04
StepServe: Remove from the press, let cool slightly, then cut each panini in half. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect harmony of flavors and textures!
