Ingredients:
1 pound boneless chicken tenderloins (breasts work fine too)
3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning or oregano
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Your favorite pizza or pasta sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 loaf of vienna bread or 4 rolls
Makes 4 sandwiches
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine Italian breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder and Italian seasoning in a large bowl for breading. Whisk 2 eggs or egg whites.
Pound chicken tenderloins on each side. Salt and pepper each side.
Dip chicken tenderloins in egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture. Place tenderloins on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Repeat until all tenderloins have been coated.
While the chicken is baking, I prepare the bread. Cut your vienna bread to size. Use the outside of the bread for the inside of the sandwich. Spread pizza or pasta sauce on both sides of bread.
After chicken is done cooking, place chicken on bread and spread with sauce and put shredded cheese on the chicken.
Spray panini pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place sandwiches into panini pani over medium/high heat on the stove top. Press with cover.
Flip after 5 minutes. Let sandwiches cook an additional 3-5 minutes and serve.
Enjoy!
I was fine until I saw that I needed a panini machine. That looks easy and so good!
ReplyDeleteI saw on the Today show that a panini maker is the one thing you should pay more for a good one.
Thanks Yola! You could actually make them on a griddle pan and then put a heavy pan on top of the bread. We love our panini pan because you can make so many different things with it. Our pan is from Crate and Barrel and it's cast iron. I didn't want one of those machines that has to sit on the counter.
