Kitchen Tips

• To save time, you could consider using great options for the chicken, such as leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken breast, or off-the-bone chicken breast from where you purchase your deli meat. To add a little extra kick, arugula or baby power greens would be a nice alternative to baby spinach.
• If you have one, a panini press is the best tool for preparing this recipe. However, a grill pan (or even a large skillet) can also be used. For best results, use a clean, heavy cast-iron skillet or a spatula to press down on the roll while toasting.

Top two slices of bread with one-half of each of the following: chicken, avocado slices, tomato, baby spinach, and shredded mozzarella. Add the remaining pieces of bread to the top to form a sandwich. Step #4. Brush the paninis on both sides with olive oil and grill until the bread is golden brown on all sides and the cheese is melted. Continue for 6-8 minutes or as directed by the manufacturer. Step #5.
