Since the day I started going to Panera yearsss ago, I have always gotten the same thing. Always. No matter what, I have never strayed. The Pick-Two, Frontega Chicken Panini and the Apple Chicken Fuji Salad. (This is a great copycat of that salad!) Some may call me boring, mostly I just know what I like. I kinda do that at A LOT of local restaurants..once I find something that I love, I get the exact same thing every.single.time. Seriously, why mess with a good thing? If Im trying a new place, obviously Ill try a new dish, but at the local places, I get what I know I love!

I love this Panera Frontega Chicken Panini. Its so simple, yet so flavorful, and warm, gooey, melty, slightly spicy, a little bit creamy, crunchy on the outside. It is one of my all time favorite sandwiches. Ive been wanting to make it at home for awhile and I finally did. And Ill tell yah what, this comes pretty darn close to the Panera version. I think I like mine a little better, because I can stuff it with more yumminess!

This is such a fabulous panini. It makes a great lunch, or even a quick weeknight dinner. My hubby wanted to go back for another one if he wasn’t already so stuffed! He definitely approved! If you like the Panera version, you’ll love this! Now I want to go make one! Enjoy!
