When I was in middle school, my friends and I used to go to Panera every Friday just to eat this sandwich, it was that good! No joke, this sandwich is probably my favorite meal of all time. So I thought in this recipe I would recreate it for you guys using similar ingredients that I have in my kitchen. The bread that Panera uses for this sandwich is black pepper focaccia (which I really like), but unfortunately, I don’t have that in my house, so I substituted it for sourdough bread. Lastly, my favorite sauces for this sandwich are chipotle mayo or pesto, and I like eating my sandwich with some lays chips on the side. You can use any kind of leftover chicken and or spread of choice.

Ingredients
  • 1 loaf focaccia bread cut into quarters
  • 1 sliced tomato
  • Sliced eight-ounce mozzarella cheese
  • ½ small onion chopped
  • Chopped basil
  • Olive oil
  • Two cooked chicken breasts (14oz) shredded
  • Pesto or chipotle mayo

Instructions

Step 1

Spread chipotle mayo or pesto sauce over the top and bottom of the focaccia bread.

Step 2

Layer on shredded chicken, onions, cheese, and basil.

Step 3

Press in a panini press on medium heat until the cheese is melted and bread becomes crisp.

Step 4

Serve with some chips and enjoy!
