I never was a big fan of sandwiches until I had Ciabatta bread and then the turn on for me was when it was used to make a panini. I love the crunch of the bread when grilled. After I had my first panini I was hooked and I went out and purchased a panini machine within a week and I use it at least once per week. Not just for making panini but to make vegetables, pancakes, eggs and so on. As a matter of fact I used my panini press machine to roast my peppers and to make the chicken in this sandwich.
