Sometimes served hot and other times cold, sometimes pressed and sometimes not, panini are always elegant and delicious and fun to make. They're a quick lunch or snack, occasionally even eaten on the run. You can wrap it up and let it hang in the fridge for up to 4 hours for a perfect lunch al desko. This recipe takes just seven minutes to make and features goat cheese, red peppers, capers, shredded chicken, and peppery arugula. Feel free to used spinach if arugula isn't your favorite. These are absolutely wonderful as is, but if you have a sandwich or panini press, you should feel free to use it, and serve the sandwiches toasted and warm.
