GAR-LICKY ARTI-CHICKY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Place chicken in a medium bowl. Drain artichokes, reserving oil for later. Chop once or twice and add to bowl. Add shallots, olives, and asparagus. Mix.
• 2. Smash and chop garlic with salt; place in a small bowl with Miracle Whip, mustard, and pepper. Stir and add to chicken mixture. Mix well. Taste and adjust flavor with more salt or pepper.
• 3. Slice bread into medium-thick slices (up to 12 depending on the number being served immediately). Use reserved artichoke liquid to brush on both sides of bread*. Fill with chicken salad and one or two slices of tomato. *For cold sandwiches, brush the oil only on the interior side of each bread slice.
• 4. Heat a griddle or panini maker and brown sandwiches until both sides are golden brown.

ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH DIP CHICKEN PANINI

Steps:

• Stir together the artichokes, spinach, sour cream, fontina and Parmesan in a bowl. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
• Preheat a grill pan or panini press on medium heat.
• Spread the artichoke mixture on all the slices of bread. Place 1 layer of chicken on 4 of the bread slices, then top each with a couple of layers of roasted red peppers. Top with the remaining bread. Brush the outside of each sandwich with some olive oil.
• Place the sandwiches on the grill pan or in the panini press. If using a grill pan, place a cast-iron skillet or brick wrapped in foil on top of the sandwiches to weigh them down. Cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. If using a panini press cook 6 to 10 minutes total.
