  3. Layer 4 ounces of cooked chicken breast (shredded or sliced) evenly over one slice of bread.
  4. Top the chicken with 1 ounce of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  5. Arrange 1/2 cup of fresh orange segments (about 1 medium orange) over the cheese.
  6. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh cilantro and a pinch of salt over the orange segments.
  7. Top with the other slice of bread.
  8. Place the assembled panini in your panini press or sandwich maker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly).
