Ingredients

Frontega Chicken Panini

  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Chipotle chile in adobo finely chopped plus adobo sauce to taste
  • ¼ tsp Kosher salt plus more
  • tsp Black pepper freshly ground plus more
  • 1.5 cup Rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 2 pieces Focaccia bread halved horizontally about 4”x4”
  • ¼ cup Fresh basil
  • 4 oz Mozzarella cheese sliced ¼" thick
  • 1 Tomato sliced ¼" thick
  • ½ Red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 oz BBQ potato chips
  • 2 Pickle spears

Homemade Lemonade

  • 1/2 cup Lemon juice fresh squeezed
  • 20 oz Water
  • 2 TBSP Sugar use to taste
  • Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir mayonnaise, chipotle, adobo sauce, salt, and pepper.
  • Place chicken in a medium heatproof bowl. Cover and microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until warmed through, about 1 minute total.
  • Lay focaccia bottoms on a clean surface. Spread chipotle mayo over each slice; top with basil. Arrange chicken over each slice; season with pepper. Top each with mozzarella and tomato; generously season with salt and pepper. Top each with onion. Spread the rest of chipotle mayo onto each focaccia top and close sandwiches.
  • Heat a panini press or a large heavy pan over medium heat. Brush with oil. Working in batches if necessary, add sandwiches to panini press or pan; close press or top sandwich with another heavy pan.
  • Cook sandwiches until focaccia is crisp and golden brown on both sides and mozzarella is melted, 3 - 4 minutes. Toasting in a pan, cook until golden to brown and toasty on the bottom, 2 - 3 minutes, then remove the top pan, flip sandwiches, and continue to cook until golden brown on top and mozzarella is melted, 1 - 2 minutes more.
  • Mix all of the ingredients for the lemonade. Serve over ice if desired.
  • Serve frontega chicken panini with barbecue chips, pickle, and homemade lemonade.
