Mushroom and Chicken Paninis With Avocado Mayo
"A quick savory panini. Chicken breast with portabella mushrooms on crispy ciabatta bread with a creamy avacado mayo. You can make these with any variation of meats and veggies. We sometimes use deli meat, leftover beef or leftover veggies. Sometimes we vary the sauce by using cranberry mustard or chili sauce with mayo. This is a great way to clean out that fridge!"

This was a pretty yummy grilled chicken sandwich that my whole family enjoyed. However I don't think I'll be making it again soon as it was pretty messy to eat and a lot of work to prepare. Perhaps if I didn't butterfly the chicken or include the onions and mushrooms it would have been less slimy between the bread. But my husband did say it was the kind of sammie that we'd pay $10 for at a restaurant.
