Instructions

Spread pesto on the inside of both ciabatta slices.
Layer chicken and provolone cheese on one slice of bread.
Top with the other slice of bread, pesto-side down.
Butter the outside of the sandwich.
Grill in a panini press or skillet over medium heat until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

If you don’t have provolone, mozzarella or Swiss cheese works well.
