Another excellent sandwich inspired by my absolute favorite sammy at Paradise Bakery. So sorry for those of you who aren’t fortunate enough to have one close by. However, I like my version even better, and it’s so easy!
If you don’t have a fancy panini press or grill pan like I used in my pictures, no worries, just use a skillet like you would a grill cheese, but use a medium weighted pan to press on top of the sandwich while the bottom half cooks. Flip and do the same for the 2nd side.
There’s just something about a hot, crispy, cheesy sandwich that is so tempting. I could eat this any day of the week and be so happy! Give it a try and enjoy it with a good bowl of soup or salad! Have a great week everyone!
I used those ciabatta rolls again that I find at Walmart, but any crusty roll will work fine.
Chicken Artichoke Panini with Prosciutto and Swiss2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 ciabatta roll or other crusty roll of choice, split
2 slices swiss cheese
1-2 slices prosciutto or crisped bacon if you’d prefer
4 slices deli chicken breast meat
1/4 Cup artichoke hearts marinated in olive oil, drained
1/2 Cup packed fresh baby arugula leaves
2 slices roma tomato
1. Prehat grill pan, panini press or large skillet to medium high heat. Brush both sides of roll with extra virgin olive oil. Layer bottom roll with 1 slice of swiss cheese, prosciutto, chicken breast slices, artichoke hearts, arugula leaves, tomatoes and 2nd slice of swiss. Close with top roll and place onto grill pan. Place a weighted pan on top to press sandwich down and form grill marks. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until browned, crisped and cheese has melted. Remove, cut in half if desired and enjoy!
i love all the sandwiches you make at home! great inspiration for those meals i need to make in a pinch!

HOly Crap, I cannot keep up with you. I don’t know how you stay skinny ( just saw your cheesecake). Ok I love potato & cheese, or broccoli/cheese soups, specially from Paradise or Outback. Maybe you already have a good recipe for these.
Another yummy sandwich! I love that it has artichoke hearts.
This sandwich looks great! I’ve been needing some new and exciting sandwich ideas for lunch.
Wow! very nice! I just recently received a panini maker for my b-day and I really like it!
Thanks for the great idea.

There you go…making these delicious sandwiches, making me crazy when I’m hungry! You should open a gourmet sandwich restaurant! Artichokes are an overlooked item for sandwiches, I think…but they have perfect texture and taste for a sammy!
That sandwich looks good. Great idea to use a grill pan if you don;t have a panini press!
I’ve never heard of or been in Paradise Bakery, but that panini looks wonderful! The nice thing about paninis for dinner is you can make a different one for everyone.
