Spicy Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Panini

Spicy Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Panini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 Spanish onion, sliced into rings
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 cup light garlic cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons light garlic cream cheese, divided
  • 4 slices focaccia bread
  • 2 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons blue cheese salad dressing
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper, cut into rings


  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes per side. Remove from heat and shred using 2 forks.
  3. Mix 1/4 cup cream cheese, hot sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the shredded chicken.
  4. Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese over 2 focaccia slices; lay Cheddar cheese on top. Add heaping spoonfuls of shredded chicken mixture. Drizzle blue cheese dressing on top. Cover with onion and jalapeno rings. Top with remaining focaccia slices.
  5. Preheat a panini press according to manufacturer's instructions. Cook sandwiches until Cheddar cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
