Chicken Parmesan Panini

August 11, 2008

I headed to my local farmer’s market this weekend with high hopes of gaining some good panini inspiration. And I did…but not in the way I’d expected. It was my first trip to the farmer’s market in over a year and I soon remembered why it had been so long. Two tomatoes ran me $7.50!! [...]

Chicken-Grape Salad & Gruyere Panini

August 1, 2008

Like that of many other time-strapped folks, my current weeknight dinner strategy is to cook just a few times a week and repurpose the leftovers in between. I was on Day 3 of my five pounds of Chicken Marbella (which is amazing, by the way – I highly recommend Elise’s recipe!) today when I decided [...]

Barbecued Chicken Panini Recipe

June 19, 2008

For weeks, I’ve been thinking about how I might put together barbecued chicken panini, but I always got stuck on the cheese part. What kind of cheese goes with barbecue?

I love to roast a chicken on the weekends, and with just two of us (who eat solids) in the house, there are always a lot of leftovers. Fortunately, panini were tailor-made for leftovers. I pulled together this even-better-the-next-day sandwich with ingredients I had in my pantry – challah bread, roasted garlic aioli, pancetta, swiss [...]

Chicken, Apple & Raspberry Panini Recipe

February 12, 2008

Raspberries on chicken panini?? It’s far from traditional, but the unexpected sweetness of the raspberry preserves on this sandwich provide just the right complement to the saltiness of the asiago cheese and rotisserie chicken and the tartness of Granny Smith apples. Want to see how this recipe was created? Check out “A Chicken Meandering”. 4 [...]

A Chicken Meandering

February 12, 2008

Sometimes I hit upon a great sandwich on the first try, and other times…well, it goes the way it went this past weekend. I started with dreams of a relatively easy chicken sandwich, incorporating flavor combinations I’ve loved in various appetizers – chicken and apples, apples and brie. But as I’m discovering, once some of [...]
