Make it a Panini?

Should you make your Chicken and Brie sandwich into a Panini? Heck yeah, if you own a Panini press. If not, no big deal but here are some other options. Do have own a skillet or griddle with the panini type surface? If yes, use that and a spatula. There is just something about those type pans that add a little extra flavor to a sandwich.

How about a Waffle Iron, got one of those? Oh boy, does it make a good sandwich. Give that a try and you will be pleasantly surprised. it won’t close even nearly all the way but you will still get an amazing flavor in your bread.

Ingredients

ciabatta, peach jam, brie and chicken for sandwiches

Fresh Savory Peach Compote-spread, get the easy recipe here
4 Ciabatta rolls, cut in half lengthwise
1 cup Fresh arugula or lettuce of your choice
1 lb. Rotisserie Chicken, skin off or Boneless, skinless chicken breast, in thin slices
4 oz. Brie, rind removed and sliced thick

Grilled Chicken or Rotisserie Chicken?

Don’t you love a good versatile recipe? I sure do. Use whichever you are in the mood for. Grilled chicken can be whipped up pretty easy using boneless chicken breasts. Use Rotisserie chicken from the grocery deli if you are in a hurry, don’t want to cook the chicken yourself or simply love the flavor of rotisserie chicken. Rotisserie is my choice.

Making The Chicken and Brie Sandwich

A great way to make the process go quickly is to assemble all of your sandwich making ingredients and equipment first. I like to use a large cutting board when I’m making sandwiches for more than just myself because it is the perfect easy to clean work surface for sandwich making.

Step 1

Begin by slicing the Ciabatta in half then spread your slices of bread with the savory Peach sauce, top and bottom. Be generous or spread it lightly, your choice. I like a generous amount so it can soak into those little holes in the bread and get hugged by that gooey cheese.

Step 2

Now, top the bottom half of the bread with the arugula first, followed by your chicken and finally the Brie. Place the top slice of bread on and get ready to grill this delectable delight.

Step 3 Grill the sandwich

Use your Panini grill or a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the sandwiches. If you are toasting in the skillet, you can add a little olive oil and heat on medium-high heat, then reduce to medium. Use a good spatula to press the sandwich down in the skillet so the cheese can feel the heat and melt onto the chicken while absorbing that fruity spread.

Heat on one side for about 4 or 5 minutes until it’s golden brown and then carefully turn over using your spatula. Continue to grill the top side for a few more minutes until toasty and the cheese is melted.

Variations and Tips

Skip the chicken and make grilled Brie sandwiches with a fruity spread. They are another version of a grilled cheese.

These chicken sandwiches are also good with American cheese.

Use any sandwich bread or white bread you may have on hand in a pinch.

These sandwiches are really good with caramelized onions for onion lovers.

Sautéed mushrooms are also good when paired with caramelized onions on a sandwich.

Do you have some leftover chicken? Use it, sprinkle with salt and black pepper to add some sandwich flavor.

No to arugula? Use any lettuce you like or even fresh basil. I love the flavor of fresh basil and it’s such an easy herb to grow in a container on your porch or windowsill.
