Chicken Panini with Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach, Bacon, and Guacamole
  1. 1

    Preheat the panini maker to medium-low.

  2. 2

    Open the roll and lay a layer of cheese on the bottom half, fitting the cheese to the shape of the bun. Add the rotisserie chicken, roasted sweet red pepper, onion rings, and bacon on top.

  3. 3

    Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves over the bacon and spoon the prepared guacamole on top. Set the top half of the bun in place. Brush the top and bottom plates of the panini maker with butter, then place the sandwich on the buttered surface.

  4. 4

    Close the panini maker and cook until the cheese is melted, the chicken is warmed, and the bun is crispy and lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve warm with a dill pickle spear.
