Best Chicken And Bacon Panini With Spicy Chipotle Mayo Recipes

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN PANINI SANDWICH (PANERA BREAD COPYCAT)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add all the ingredients to the chipotle mayo. Use an immersion blender to blend all the ingredients together until the mayo is thickened and smooth.
• In a cast iron skillet or frying pan, cook bacon to desired crispness. Reserve the fat, if desired. Set the bacon on a wire rack or paper lined plate to drain.
• Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In the cast iron skillet or frying pan, heat a tablespoon of high-heat oil over medium high heat. Cook chicken breasts, 3 minutes on both sides, or until chicken is cooked through. Set aside on a plate to rest for 3-5 minutes. Slice the cooked chicken breasts width-wise to prep for the sandwiches.
• Preheat your panini press to medium high heat. Spread softened butter or residual bacon fat over one side of each piece of bread, then spread a spoonful of chipotle aioli over the other side of the slices of bread. Stack bacon, chicken, tomato, cheese, and on the aioli side of 4 slices of bread, then top with the other slice.
• Press in panini press for 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread is well toasted.
• Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

CHIPOTLE, CHICKEN & BACON PANINI

Steps:

• Heat panini grill.
• Spread bread slices with barbecue sauce; fill with remaining ingredients.
• Grill 4 to 5 min. or until cheese is melted and sandwich is golden brown.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH PANINI

Steps:

• Fry the chicken breasts in 1 tablespoon butter and the canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until done in the middle, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of mustard on half of the bread slices. Spread a generous amount of ranch dressing on the other half. (Definitely be generous; when the sandwiches cook, these will turn into more of a "sauce.")
• On the ranch-covered slices of bread, place a slice of cheese, a piece of chicken, 2 slices of bacon and a second slice of cheese. Top each with the mustard-covered slice of bread. Butter the outsides of the bread generously with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, then grill in a panini maker. (If you do not have a panini maker, you can grill the sandwiches in a skillet, laying a heavy skillet on top of the sandwiches to press them together. Turn to grill the other side in the same way.)
• Slice the sandwiches in half and gobble them down immediately.

GRILLED CHICKEN WRAP WITH CHIPOTLE MAYO

Steps:

• For the chicken: Heat a seasoned grill or nonstick pan until warmed and add some oil if using. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper. Cook the breasts for 2 minutes on the first side, and then flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Flip again to the first side and cook 2 minutes. Flip one last time and cook for 2 minutes more (the total cooking time will be 8 minutes). Allow the chicken to rest and cool before slicing on the bias, cutting four to five slices from each breast.
• For the mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chipotle puree and salt in a medium bowl, mixing well.
• For the wraps: Apply about 1 tablespoon of the mayo to the center of each tortilla. Next, add some lettuce, sliced chicken, tomato and avocado, and then fold the ends in to the center to seal. Finally, bring the flap side of each tortilla over and roll to create sealed sandwich wraps. Slice on the bias and serve.

CHICKEN AND BACON PANINI WITH SPICY CHIPOTLE MAYO

Steps:

• For the Spicy Chipotle Mayo: Add all ingredients into a food processor and puree until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
• For the Panini: Turn the oven to broil. Place the tomato slices on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place into the oven and roast the tomatoes until the top is slightly charred. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Note: This step may be skipped and replaced with slices of avocado.).
• Heat a panini grill or grill pan on medium heat. Spread a little bit of butter on one side of each piece of the bread.
• Evenly distribute the chicken, cheese, bacon and tomatoes (or avocado slices) on top of two slices, butter side down.
• On the other pieces of bread, spread some of the chipotle mayonnaise on the side that is not buttered. Place on top of the sandwich. Place the sandwiches on the grill. If you are using a grill pan, place a heavy pan on top of each sandwich.
• Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Gently flip the sandwich over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden brown.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH BACON AND AVOCADO

TURKEY AND BACON PANINI WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Preheat a panini press according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the garlic and onion until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes more.
• While the onions and spinach are cooking, stir together the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce in a small bowl. Spread the mayonnaise over 4 slices of focaccia bread. Place a slice of cheese onto the 4 slices, then divide the turkey among the sandwiches. Place 2 strips of bacon onto each sandwich and top with the spinach mixture. Place the remaining slices of bread onto the sandwiches.
• Cook the sandwiches in the preheated panini grill according to manufacturer's directions until crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
