Paninis are definitely my husband’s favorite sandwich. My son and I love them too. They are easy to make, extremely versatile, and always delicious. My husband had got me a panini press a while back, and it makes making paninis a breeze. Although you don’t have to have an actual panini press to make them. See the link at the bottom of this recipe to Panini Kathy’s site where she has lots of ideas on how to make paninis without a specialized press.
For these paninis, I bought some roast chicken at my grocer’s deli. Then when I got home from the grocery store, I just assembled my sandwiches and grilled them in my panini press, so simple and delicious. Then I served them with a simple creamy asparagus soup (recipe coming soon!)
