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!
Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe
While most ingredients can be bought in grocery stores, for your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients (and equipment) needed for this recipe have been listed below and linked to Amazon or other stores if available online. The complete list of ingredients with measurements is found in the recipe card.
- Savory Peach Compote – this is a previous recipe that is very easy to make and really adds that extra deliciousness to this sandwich!
- Ciabatta Rolls

- Potato Chips – to serve, optional.
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.,).
