Description
This Chicken Cordon Bleu Panini Sandwich combines the crispy, golden goodness of a panini with the savory flavors of classic chicken cordon bleu. Packed with tender chicken, and gooey Swiss cheese, all topped with a simple yet flavorful mustard-mayo sauce, this easy 15-minute recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner that feels gourmet.
Ingredients
2 slices of sandwich bread (thick slices work best)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 slices Swiss cheese
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and sliced
1 tbsp garlic-herb seasoning (optional)
Instructions
-
Make the sauce: Mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl to create the sandwich spread.
-
Assemble the sandwich: Spread the sauce on both slices of bread. On one slice, layer the Swiss cheese, and cooked chicken slices.
-
Grill the sandwich: Heat a panini press or griddle. If using a griddle, cook the sandwich in a skillet, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy, or press down with a heavy pan to mimic the panini effect.
-
Serve: Once the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted, remove from the heat and slice. Serve immediately.
Notes
Add sautéed spinach or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
Spice things up with hot sauce or a slice of jalapeño.
Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella.
Try ciabatta or sourdough bread for a different texture and taste.
