  2. This is a great sandwich. I have never ordered this at Panera and now I won't every need to because it is so easy to make at home with this recipe. I did substitute some leftover chicken for the sliced turkey. Yum!
     
  3. This is my favorite sandwich from Panera Bread. I loved this recipe it is just like the real version!
     
  4. I made this for myself and it was absolutely delicious --- even better then the Panera version! I was slightly dissapointed, but that was only because our panini grill couldn't handle the mammoth sandwich I put on it...!Thank you so much for making my favorite so much more accessible!
