Balsamicchickensandwichorpanini Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix salad dressing, balsamic vinegar, honey and red pepper flakes, set aside.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Cook chicken breasts on one side for 10 minutes, then turn. Add half of the dressing mixture, and cook for another 10 minutes. Chicken juices should run clear. Set chicken aside.
• Add asparagus, carrots, and tomatoes to the same skillet, season with salt and pepper, stir frequently until the veggies are tender, about 4 minutes. Plate veggies and chicken.
• Add remaining dressing mixture to skillet and reduce for about a minute, until the sauce is thickened. Dress the chicken and veggies with the sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Salt and pepper chicken breasts.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
• Cook chicken until no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes per side.
• Remove chicken, keep warm.
• Add wine, sugar, and vinegar to pan, increase heat to high, reduce until thick and syrupy.
• Cut rolls in half, spread with goat cheese.
• Add chicken, spinach, onion, peppers, and sauce.
• You may have sauce left over. Save it. It's great on steaks, too.

Steps:

• Whisk balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, mustard, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set vinaigrette aside.
• Cut sweet potato into 1/4-inch thick fries.
• Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potato fries and cook, turning every 5 minutes, for 20 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Sear until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add asparagus, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook until asparagus and broccoli are bright green and tomatoes are slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Move veggies to one side and add chicken and potatoes back into the pan. Pour in vinaigrette. Toss veggies and chicken slightly until chicken is cooked through and vinaigrette has thickened, about 5 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat skillet or panini press.
• Prepare sandwich by spreading tapenade on the inside of one piece of bread and layering ham, arugula, and then brie. Top with remaining bread.
• If desired brush outside of sandwich with olive oil.
• Cook until heated through and crispy onthe outside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Split bread horizontally. Layer one side with mozzarella, ham, and spinach, beginning and ending with mozzarella, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Close sandwich. (Mozzarella being in direct contact with bread on both sides will hold sandwich together as cheese melts.)
• Brush a large baking sheet with some of the oil. Place sandwich on sheet; brush top with remaining oil. Place another baking sheet on top (cover bottom of sheet with aluminum foil, if necessary), and press down very firmly.
• Bake panini, pressing down top baking sheet once or twice during baking, until cheese has melted and sandwich is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into 4 pieces, and serve with Cherry Tomato Salad.
