Notes

To save time, you could substitute rotisserie chicken breast or off-the-bone chicken breast from the deli counter.
To add a little extra kick, arugula or baby power greens would be a nice alternative to the baby spinach.
If you have one, a panini press is the best tool for preparing this recipe. However, a grill pan (or even a large skillet) can also be used. Use a clean heavy cast iron skillet or a spatula to press down on the roll while toasting for best results.
