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.
Place the sandwiches on the panini press or grill pan and press until the bread is golden.
If using a grill pan, ﬂip the sandwiches after 2 minutes to grill the other sides.

Notes

To cook the chicken, place the breast on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
