I was never a big panini fan. My Mom and sister both love them, and my Mom bought some fancy-schmancy panini maker and just raved about it every time she used it (which was daily). I finally decided to shut her up and buy one for myself. She totally sucks cause I absolutely love it
When I first got it, I too was making panini's 5 days a week (my favorite for the longest time was Raspberry Ham Panini), but I really started to despise cleaning the machine, so I backed off for awhile. Last week I found myself craving a panini though, so I whipped out the machine and looked up some new recipes.
This Kraft chicken salad recipe ended up winning out. I have a chicken salad recipe that I usually stick to, but the inclusion of ranch dressing in this sounded really good (and it was). It's also super easy and can be made with things that I already had on hand, so that was also a plus ;)
