My Holiday Wish list 

Today we are back to regular scheduled programming :)

The kids at school were making 

chicken parm last week and 

after smelling it I knew

I wanted to make it for dinner!

I decided to switch it up and turn it 

into panini's instead of just the regular dish.

It was super easy and BEYOND delicious.

Chicken Parm Panini's  

4 chicken breasts, flattened

2 1/2 cups Italian bread curmbs

Olive Oil

3/4 jar marinara sauce

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

Fresh Mozzarella, sliced

Slices of Sourdough bread

Butter

1. Flatten chicken breasts. You can do this by putting the chicken in a ziploc bag

and then pounding it down with a rolling pin :)

2. Next, coat the chicken breasts in bread crumbs and set aside. 

3. In a large skillet cover the bottom with olive oil. Then add chicken breasts.

Cook until the outside is golden brown and crispy. 

4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. It is OK if the chicken 

isn't cooked fully, you will cook it longer later.

5.In your skillet add another 1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil 

and saute your onion & garlic.

6. Then add your 3/4 jar of marinara sauce to your onion and garlic mixture. Mix together.

7. Place chicken breasts in sauce mixture. Cover with a lid and let cook for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink on medium-low.

8. To make panini's you don't have to have a press! You can simply use a skillet 

and then place a heavy bowl or plate on top of your 

panini to flatten it.

9. Butter one side of each piece of bread. Lay the bread on plate, butter side down.

Then build your panini. Add chicken first then 2-3 slices of mozzarella on top.  

10. Close sandwich and lay on your press or in your skillet.

11. Cook each side of panini for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and 

the cheese starts to melt!

12. Slice in half and ENJOY!

These were beyond a hit at our house since Pat LOVES Chicken Parm.
