Chicken Panini with Spinach, Provolone and Chipotle Mayo

I made this recipe from skinnytaste.com last night.  It was so easy to make and gave me a good reason to pull out my panini maker.

Chicken Panini with Spinach, Provolone and Chipotle Mayo

Ingredients for two sandwiches (adapted from this recipe):

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tsp chipotle in adobo sauce (or to taste)
• 4 pieces whole grain artisan wheat bread
• 2 thin grilled chicken cutlets
• 2 slices provolone
• Baby spinach
• Cooking spray

Directions:

Combine mayonnaise and chipotle pepper sauce in a small bowl. You can use any hot sauce, sriracha or chipotle tabasco would also work; season to your taste.

Spread the spicy mayonnaise inside the bread. Lay the provolone cheese, grilled chicken and baby spinach in the bread; close and lightly spray the top with cooking spray. 

Place on a panini press and close until the cheese melts and the bread is toasted.Cut in half and eat immediately.

This was pretty delicious and fast to make.  Next time I'd use a little more chipotle sauce to make the mayo more spicy and flavorful.  Highly recommended! (You'll definitely want thin chicken for this - big fat chicken pieces just don't work).
