Before Grilling The Ciabatta Rolls Until They Are All Hot And Crusty, We Load Them Up With A Winning Combination Of Pesto, Chicken, Prosciutto, Grilled Onions, Roasted Peppers, And Provolone Cheese. If You Don’t Have A Panini Press, Use An Electric Skillet Or A Nonstick Pan On The Stove. Just Add Some Weight To The Tops Of The Sandwiches So They Can Compact Like A True Panini And Get That Authentic Crispy Crust. (You Can Cover Them With A Cookie Sheet With A Few Heavy Cans On Top To Press Them Flatter.)
