Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 6 slices Cooked bacon
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 0.25 cups Ranch dressing
- 4 Ciabatta rolls
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Baby spinach (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your panini press to medium-high heat. If you don't have a panini press, heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, season the cooked chicken breast with salt and ground black pepper, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Step 3
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and spread a thin layer of butter on the outer sides of each roll.
Step 4
Spread about 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing on the inner side of both halves of each ciabatta roll.
Step 5
Layer each bottom half with 1/2 cup of seasoned chicken, 1-2 slices of cooked bacon, 1 slice of provolone cheese, and a handful of baby spinach (if using). Place the top half of the roll on each sandwich.
Step 6
Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the panini press and close the lid. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. If using a skillet, press the sandwich down with a heavy pan and flip halfway through cooking.
Step 7
Remove the paninis from the heat and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting them in half.
Step 8
Serve the Chicken Bacon Ranch Paninis warm and enjoy!
