In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a simple sandwich spread. Set aside.
Spread the butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Lay them butter-side-down on a flat surface.
On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture evenly.
Layer the remaining ingredients on top of the spread: start with shredded chicken, then add avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, and a romaine lettuce leaf.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, butter-side-up.
Heat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, you’ll need a heavy pan or spatula to press the sandwich down.
Grill the panini until the bread is golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the cheese is slightly melted and the ingredients are warmed through.
Remove from the heat and let cool for 1 minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
