How to make
-
STEP 1
Spread 1 tablespoon butter on one side of each slice bread. Turn 2 slices over; spread each with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. Sprinkle mayonnaise with 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Top each slice seasoned bread with 2 slices cheese; divide chicken evenly between sandwiches. Layer half of tomato slices over each sandwich; top each with half of arugula, 2 slices cheese and remaining slice bread, butter-side up.

STEP 2
Place sandwich onto panini press; grill until bread is toasted and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwich.
Tip #1
If desired, a grill-style pan may be used instead of a panini press: Place sandwich into heated grill pan. Place a piece of parchment on top of sandwich, then use a heavy saucepan to press firmly down on sandwich. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes; turn sandwich over and cook 2-3 minutes or until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
