For dinner last night I used my sandwich press. We all like it and use it a ton. You can make sweet or savory sandwiches on it.

So they say you can grill the chicken on the press but I prefer to use a skillet. I saute some sweet red peppers and onions then set them aside. Sprinkled the chicken with salt, pepper, and Penzey's Garden Salad Seasoning then sauteed them. I heated up the press and added provolone then chicken, peppers and finally another slice of cheese. They were delish. The kids had the same thing minus the peppers. Oh I used Sourdough for the bread. Sometimes you can get big holes in sourdough but I carry on and the cheese fills in the holes and gets crusty and yummy.

I have found that you do not have to use a ton of cheese to keep the sandwich together which is nice it you are trying to keep the calories down. I used one slice, half on top, half on the bottom for these sandwiches.

You don't need a press to make these btw. Just make them like you would grilled cheese. I tend to slice the chicken breast in half (lengthwise i mean) and that helps with the bulkiness. Press down with you spatula to help seal it all up.
