How to Make Chicken Cordon Blue Panini

  1. Preheat your panini press to medium-high heat.
  2. Lay out the bottom halves of the rolls on a work surface. Top each with 2-3 slices of cooked chicken breast, followed by 1-2 slices of ham.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (or your preferred cheese) with 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing. Mix well.
  4. Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto the cut sides of the top roll halves.
  5. Carefully place the top halves of the rolls onto the chicken and ham, creating the panini.
  6. Place the assembled panini in the preheated press and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Carefully remove the panini from the press and slice in half (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
