Chicken Fajita Panini with Fiesta Ranch Sauce

[ssba]

Chicken Fajita Panini – Two favorites combined to create one awesome sandwich with a great fiesta ranch sauce.
Chicken Fajita Panini

You guys have got to try these!  They are wonderful!  I’m all about finding a new panini to try.  These have an awesome fiesta ranch mayo that really makes these!  Plus they come together really quickly.  As I grilled the chicken outside, I sauteed the veggies inside all while managing three kids…which happened to all be content doing something at that point.  It was bliss.  My 2 year old was not having her usual 5:00 melt down, so I was able to cook supper drama-free and even snap a photo!
Dinner accomplished!
