When it comes to sandwiches I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur. Professional. Expert.
The problem with sandwiches? I don’t actually like making my own. You see, sandwiches that meet the caliber of sandwich that I prefer are rather time intensive for – you know – a sandwich. In an ideal world I would work at home and have the ability to bake my own bread, slow-roast my own meat and veggies, and have the capability to grow heirloom lettuce and tomatoes in my backyard. I think it’s pretty obvious that’s not the case, and so I definitely need help where I can get it!
Enter Perdue Short Cuts. A couple weeks ago I was contacted by the company to give their chicken shortcuts a try, and I all but jumped at the chance! There are definitely days in my life where there’s hardly time to eat, let alone spend time cooking and preparing everything for a meal. The moment I found these in my grocery store I decided to make Chicken Cordon Bleu panini.
We’ll just say ’twas a genius idea!
CHICKEN CORDON BLEU PANANI (makes 4 sandwiches)
- 4 sandwich rolls
- 4 Laughing Cow triangles of Swiss Cheese
- 1 package Perdue Short Cuts Rotisserie or Grilled chicken
- 8 slices of ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 4 Tbsp dijon mustard
- salt
Divide all sandwich rolls in half. Spread 1 Tbsp of dijon mustard on one side and 1 Laughing Cow cheese on the other. Sprinkle the cheese with pepper. Add 1/4 of the package of Perdue chicken on top of the cheese, then top with 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the other side of the bread. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt; grill on a panini press for 3-4 minutes on each side til the middle is warmed through and the cheese is melted. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Chicken salad, and I’d forget about the bread and eat it straight from the spoon 🙂
That looks delish!
I’d love to try those on BBQ chicken pizza.
I follow you on twitter.
I would make your chicken cordon bleu panini. It looks scrumptious.
I love chicken…especially grilled! I would put it in a pasta dish.
I found use these on salads and to put in sandwiches to make them more filling. This would be a great alternative since I can’t use lunch meat right now. I also follow you on twitter!
yyyyyuuuuummmmmmmm
Chicken Cordon Bleu is one of my favorite ways to have chicken! This sandwich is such a good idea! 🙂
And you know I already show you love on both Twitter and Facebook. 🙂
Oh I love that sandwich idea! I would probably make this sandwich or some other form of sandwich with them. Otherwise maybe a salad because I’m too lazy to grill up my own chicken a lot of times. I’m sure thats so shocking. Haha!
As I stare at the delectable pannini, I have to say that is exactly what I would make!
So those look amazing. I asked for a bread machine as an anniversary gift and LOVE it. It is kind of amazing to just dump in the ingredients and a little while later have fresh bread or make dough for dinner rolls (so good!!).
I think I would put the chicken in a salad…or in tacos…or probably just eat it with my fingers (too much?)
