Bumping this up! Help please anyone!?!?!!
 
Make Panini sandwiches.
 
You can use any of the recipes that call for chicken. The Chicken Enchilada Ring is good and so is the Harvest Chicken Salad.

Now that you mention it, I bet the Harvest Chicken Salad would go GREAT in the ring, we would have to modify it a bit, but I'm gonna try it!:D

How about the Warm Curry Chicken Dip from the spring/summer Season's Best? I just had some last night and it was wonderful. I bet it would be good with leftover turkey too!
