The great thing about this sandwich is that even if you don’t have a panini press, you can still make it in a cast-iron skillet. The panini is served with homemade savory peach compote and your favorite potato chips.

Chicken Brie Panini

The full ingredients list and instructions are found in the printable recipe card at the end of this post. I highly recommend reading the blog post all the way through so that you don’t miss any tips or substitution suggestions; to ensure that you have all the ingredients and equipment required, and to understand the steps and timings involved.

I don’t know about you, but I love a GOOD sandwich. And this, chicken and brie panini is a GOOD sandwich!

Creamy melted Brie, peppery arugula, and the savory warmth of the savory peach compote perfectly complement the chicken breast in this panini.

This is a great sandwich to use up leftover chicken, but if you have a hankering for a chicken sandwich and having cooked a Sunday roast, why not use rotisserie chicken breast or off-the-bone chicken breast from the deli counter?

If you have one, a panini press is the best tool for preparing this recipe. However, a grill pan (or even a large skillet) can also be used. Use a clean heavy cast iron skillet or a spatula to press down on the roll while toasting for best results.

Serve up the sandwich with a handful of your favorite potato chips and you have a delicious lunch on your hands for any day of the week!

  • Savory Peach Compotethis is a previous recipe that is very easy to make and really adds that extra deliciousness to this sandwich!

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. You can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).
