Description

These Chipotle Chicken Bacon Ranch Paninis are bursting with flavor! Featuring grilled chicken, crispy bacon, and zesty chipotle cheddar, they are a quick and satisfying meal for any time of the day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices crusty sourdough bread
  • 1/2 tbsp butter divided
  • 4-6 strips grilled chicken breast depending on the size
  • 2 thin slices tomato
  • 2 strips crisp cooked bacon patted dry of grease
  • 2 thick slices chipotle seasoned cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp ranch dressing


Instructions

  • Preheat the Panini press while preparing the sandwich.
  • Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough with a butter knife.
  • Place one slice of sourdough (buttered side down) on the panini press.
  • Layer the ingredients in this order: one slice of cheddar, chicken strips, tomato slices, bacon, ranch dressing, followed by the second slice of cheddar.
  • Cover with the second slice of bread (buttered side facing up) and close the Panini press.
