Ingredients
- 2 Tbs. olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh tarragon
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each about 10 oz., tenders removed, breasts butterflied and cut in half
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 8 slices sweet batard, each cut on the bias about 1/2 inch thick
- 1/2 cup ’wichcraft artichoke spread
- 4 oz. Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 1 oz. arugula
Instructions
- Preheat an electric panini press on the “sear” setting according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a bowl, stir together the 2 Tbs. olive oil and the tarragon. Add the chicken breasts and stir to coat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place 2 of the chicken pieces on the preheated panini press, close the lid and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat to cook the remaining chicken. Wipe off the panini press with paper towels and adjust to the “panini” setting.
- Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil. Turn the slices over and spread each with 1 Tbs. artichoke spread. Sprinkle the cheese on 4 of the slices, dividing evenly, and top each with 1 piece of chicken. Top each sandwich with one of the remaining bread slices, oiled side up.
- Place 2 of the sandwiches on the panini press, close the lid and cook until the cheese is melted, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board. Repeat to cook the remaining sandwiches. Open the sandwiches and arrange the arugula over the chicken. Close the sandwiches, cut them in half and serve immediately. Serves 4.
