Instructions
- Preheat a panini press or grill pan.
- Spread one slice of bread with mayonnaise.
- Layer 1 slice of cheese, half the chicken slices (or as many as you’d like), 2 slices of bacon, half the avocado slices, and top with another slice of cheese before adding the top slice of bread. Repeat for the second sandwich.
- Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the bread.
