Southwest Panninis

I had a vision for a yummy sandwich the other day, and this is what I came up with...

What You Need

4 Ciabata rolls (or other hardy bread)
4 small chicken breasts, grilled and flayed in half
1 package cream cheese
1 package Fiesta Ranch mix (I have had the best luck finding this mix at Walmart over by the regular ranch mixes in the salad dressing isle)
1 small can whole green chilis
4 slices cheddar cheese

Directions

Combine cream cheese and Fiesta Ranch mix in small bowl. Cut rolls in half, slather one side with cream cheese mixture, then top with chicken, one green chili sliced open, and a slice of cheese, then top with remaining bread half. Place the sandwich on a pannini press and cook for 3-5 minutes. (If you don't have a pannini press you can use a large skillet and place something heavy like a large pot on top of your sandwich to give it the flattened pannini affect, cook for 3-5 minutes, then flip over and cook another 3-5 minutes). Serve with french fries or roasted potatoes, and a side of veggies.
