Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 4 slices ciabatta bread
  • 8 ounces deli-sliced roasted chicken
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 leaves lettuce
  • 4 slices tomato, or to taste
  • cooking spray

Directions

Step 1
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 6 to 8minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.

Step 2
Spread mayonnaise on one side of the 4 slices of bread. Layer chicken slices, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bacon, in that order, over 2 slices of bread. Place the remaining 2 bread slices on the top, mayonnaise side down.

Step 3
Heat a panini press over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Place sandwiches inside. Cook until heated through and the cheese starts to melt, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 4
Cut panini in half and serve immediately.

Cook’s Notes:

Good bread choices for a panini include ciabatta bread, ciabatta rolls, focaccia, sourdough, thick Italian bread, and Texas toast, to name a few.
