Chicken Avocado Panini

Just 20 minutes is all you need to make this delicious Chicken Avocado Panini!

The combination of creamy avocado, lusciously melted mozzarella, vibrant spinach leaves, and succulent garden tomatoes come together perfectly to enhance the grilled chicken breast in this grilled sandwich.

You could substitute rotisserie chicken or off-the-bone chicken breast from the deli counter to save even more time.

For an added burst of flavor, consider opting for peppery arugula or delicate baby power greens as an alternative to baby spinach.

Of course, a panini press is the best tool for preparing this sandwich, but if you don’t have one, you can use a grill pan or large skillet on the stovetop. Use a spatula to press down on the sandwich as it cooks for best results.

Enjoy the grilled chicken panini with chips, French fries, or Sweet Potato Wedges for a satisfying lunch or light dinner.

Equipment Needed For This Recipe

The Purple Pumpkin Blog uses both cups and weighted measurements in its recipes, making American cups and kitchen food scales useful tools for trying out all the recipes. I provide US customary, imperial, and metric measurements, but it’s important to note that while you can combine cup measurements with weighted measures, never mix US customary/imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.) with metric (kilograms, grams, liters, etc.).
