Chicken, Provolone, Pesto and Pepper Panini

This sandwich is very much open to interpretation and what you have on hand. I did make a special trip to the supermarket to buy Pastene jarred pesto. I have never gone this route but at $3.79 vs. $5.99 for "fresh", it was delicious and doable.
Fire up the press.
Spray cooking spray on outer pieces of bread (we used Scali).
Spread thin layer on mayo on inner sides. Spread pesto over that.
Top one side with sliced deli chicken and top with kalamata olives (no olives for Alex) and banana pepper rings.
Top with slices of provolone cheese then sliced pepperoni. Note: most pepperonis can but super fatty so microwave for 30 sec. on doubled over paper towels to extract it.
Put on the press and cook until the cheese it oozing and delicious!
This reminded us of a calzone, it was so good.
