Ingredients
  

  • 2 breaded chicken breasts I love just bare chickrn
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices ham
  • 4 slices of sourdough, ciabatta bread, or brioche bun
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise.
  2. Brush one side of each slice of bread with butter or olive oil. Spread a generous layer of the mustard-mayo mixture. Add a slice of Swiss cheese, followed by 1 breaded chicken , a slice ham, and another slice of Swiss cheese. Top with a handful of fresh arugula if using.
  3. Heat a skillet or panini press over medium heat and grill the sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is beautifully melted.
  4. Slice the sandwich in half, and serve with a side of fries or a salad.

Notes

Storage:
  • For leftovers, store each component of the sandwich separately (chicken, sauce, bread) in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm chicken and bread in the oven until crisped up. Assemble the sandwiches when you're ready to serve and add any fresh toppings like arugula.
  • Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating and assembling a fresh sandwich.
