4 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
Whole grain mustard
8 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded, divided
12 ounces sliced white mushrooms
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
3 garlic cloves, pressed
2 cups shredded roast chicken
1 5-ounce bag baby spinach

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Pull some bread from ciabatta rolls to form slightly hollow centers. Drizzle ciabatta rolls with olive oil. Spread roll bottoms with whole grain mustard. Sprinkle roll bottoms with half of Fontina cheese.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté 4 minutes. Add chopped shallots and pressed garlic; sauté 3 minutes. Add chicken; sauté 2 minutes to heat through. Transfer to plate. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add spinach; sauté 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain. Spoon chicken mixture, then spinach over roll bottoms. Top with remaining cheese. Cover with roll tops. Wrap each sandwich tightly in foil. Bake sandwiches until cheese melts, about 20 minutes.
