Honey Mustard Chicken Panini

Today is my 41st wedding anniversary!!  I want to thank my husband, Lenny, for being my guinea pig!!  He has had some pretty horrible food in those 41 years!!  I asked him what his favorite recipe is and he said the honey mustard chicken panini.  To make the honey mustard sauce -
Combine in a saucepan and mix thoroughly
1 c. yellow mustard, 1 c. honey, 1/2 c. packed brown sugar and 2 T. maple syrup.  On low heat, stirring constantly, heat until sugar is melted.  This sauce is good as a dipping sauce for chicken strips or nuggets, ham and cheese paninis and it is the sauce for the honey mustard chicken panini.
For each panini you will need
1 boneless chicken breast, cooked thoroughly
2-3 slices bacon, cooked
2 slices Swiss/American cheese
2 slices sourdough bread, 1" thick
Butter one side of the bread.  Layer on unbuttered side of bread - 1 slice cheese, the chicken breast, bacon, 1 slice cheese, top with second slice of bread, buttered side up.  Cook on panini grill until golden brown and cheese is melted.  Serve with honey mustard sauce on the side.
