- Place the slices of coppa di parma between the sheets of baking paper and put them on the Baking Stone.
- Cover with an oven dish to press the slices flat.
- Bake for 3–4 minutes until crispy and set the coppa di parma aside. Remove the pizza stone.
- Slice the chicken breasts, tomato, and pickles into thin slices.
- Halve the avocado, remove the pit and skin, and slice thinly.
- Place the slices of focaccia on the grid, close the lid, and grill for 3 minutes.
- Turn over and grill for another 3 minutes.
- Spread two slices of focaccia with the cream cheese. Top with slices of smoked chicken, tomato, avocado, and the crispy coppa di parma.
- Add the pickle slices and cover with the second slice of grilled focaccia.
- Thread two olives onto a skewer and stick one into each club sandwich for the finishing touch.
