Three Cheese BBQ Chicken Paninis
By leeclark22
Havarti + Cheddar + Aged White Cheddar Cheese. All melted in a saucy, bbq chicken panini. Sandwich, errr panini, heaven people.
I made these Three Cheese BBQ Chicken Paninis last week for dinner and was somewhat surprised at how much my family liked them. I mean, they’re just so simple.I kept these really simple by using a rotisserie chicken (I’m slightly obsessed with rotisseries- they’re making my life easy right now), shredded it up and tossed it in some bbq sauce. You can grill these up on a panini press, griddle or just the stove top. I love how quickly the panini press makes a perfectly toasted sandwich with perfectly melted cheese

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (I like to use Kroger's Rotisserie Chicken to save time)
- 1/2 cup Kroger brand bbq sauce + extra for spreading on sandwich and dipping
- 1 1/2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 2 slices Kroger brand Havarti Cheese, cut in half
- 2 slices Kroger brand Cheddar Cheese, cut in half
- 2 slices Kroger brand Aged White Cheddar Cheese, cut in half
- 8 slices whole grain quality bread
- Panini Press
Preparation
Step 1
Heat panini press to medium-high heat.
Combine shredded chicken, bbq sauce, and cilantro. Set aside.
Lightly butter one side of each of the slices of bread. Place one slice (buttered side down) on panini press, and spread about 1/4 cup chicken mixture on top. Top with a half slice of each- havarti, cheddar, and white cheddar cheese.
Step 2
Take another piece of bread, and spread a thin layer of bbq sauce on the un-buttered side. Place it on top of the of the cheese and close the panini press. Cook for about 3 minutes. Cut sandwich in half and serve!
