Grilled indoors, this delightful sandwich can be enjoyed any time of year. “The honey-mustard dressing gives the chicken plenty of pizzazz, and the apple and pecans lend a lively crunch,” notes Lisa Huff of Birmingham, Alabama.

I doubled the recipe & made it for company. Everyone was so impressed with it! I substituted dill weed since I didn't have fresh dill on hand & I used walnuts in place of pecans. Also used wheat french bread from the bakery. Will be making this one often!

I found this recipe in a Cooking for Two issue nearly six years ago and it has become one of our favorite sandwich recipes! My husband does not care much for mayonnaise or mustard, but he LOVES these paninis! We have made them for guests many times over, and have made them for ourselves often. I usually make it with wheat bread, because that's what we usually have on hand. Either way though it's a very filling, absolutely delicious panini! The different flavors of all of the ingredients come together really well, and the dill gives it a slight tang that really just makes the recipe superb, in my opinion.
