Frontega Chicken Panini Sandwich Recipe {Panera Bread Copycat}
This Frontega Chicken Panini Sandwich is spot on to the Panera Bread's version! It's one of the tastiest menu sandwiches and I even have a recipe for homemade Focaccia Bread if you want to make it all from scratch!
Ingredients
Frontega Chicken Panini:
- 22 oz cooked Chicken Breast, (1.5 lbs of poached, grilled or fried)
- 2 round focaccia loaves
- 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 purple onion, sliced
- .5 oz fresh basil
- 8 slices Mozzerella cheese
Panera Bread's Copycat Chipotle Mayo:
- 1/2 cup Hellmans Spicy Chipotle Mayo
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
How to make Frontega Chicken Panini:
- Whisk together the chipotle mayonnaise and sour cream and set aside. Prep all the ingredients.
- Cut focaccia bread in half, crosswise. Spread a generous amount of the chipotle spread over each side. Top in the following order; chicken pieces, tomatoes, onion, fresh basil and cheese.
- Grill whole on a panini press over hi heat until cheese melts. Cut each focaccia into 4 pieces and serve.
Notes
Note: Can make my focaccia bread recipe in a sheet pan rather than round loaves. My focaccia bread recipe makes three round loaves or one sheet pan. Half of a sheet pan portion will be enough for this recipe.
