Southwest Chicken Salad Panini


We got this recipe from one of the Kraft Magazines and had it for dinner tonight- we of course doubled it but I'm putting the regular recipe on here for 4 servings.

Southwest Chicken Salad Panini

2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken breasts
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. ranch dressing
8 slices bread (we used the Seattle Sourdough brand Cracked Wheat Bread and cut each piece in half for one sandwich because they are big pieces of bread)
1 large tomato, cut into thin slices
4 pieces of cheddar cheese

Mix cooked chicken, chili powder, mayonnaise and ranch dressing.

Make sandwich with bread slices, chicken mixture, tomatoes and sliced cheese.

Grill 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and sandwiches are a golden brown on both sides (make sure you butter the outside of the bread on both sides before grilling).

We used a George Forman to grill the sandwiches but if you don't have one you can cook them in a large skillet on medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
