Finally, about a month ago, while at Panera Bread for lunch, I noticed they had a Cuban Chicken Panini on the menu, and I thought, "this is a start". The ingredients are listed as being: "All-natural, antibiotic-free chicken, smoked, lean ham, sweet & spicy pickle chips, Swiss, chipotle mayo & sun-dried tomato ale mustard on our Focaccia".
It certainly sounded wonderful by the description and this is a picture of what I received. I think a "panini" is an interesting sandwich and looks great. This sandwich was quite delicious, the flavors blended beautifully and I really and truly enjoyed it. I couldn't quite finish it, the serving size was so generous, so I brought it back to work with me and raved all about it. The creation of a "panini" does leave your sandwich a bit compressed, with all ingredients a bit smooshed (I have done this to my grilled cheese sandwich, when I over zealously pressed down on it with the spatula to be sure it was evenly browned!), so, I did feel as if what I was eating was a bit dense, but it did not take away from the fact that I was eating something scrumptious.
Knowing that we were planning a Caribbean cruise vacation soon, I became bound and determined to find me an authentic Cuban Sandwich, to get the true taste and appearance. Keep reading, there is more!!
P.S. If anyone reading knows all about the Cuban Sandwich, please share it with me!
