Last night Jay was helping out his parents, so I was solo for dinner. My empty fridge was full of underwhelming possibilities. But I had two good things going for me…cheese & bread. Then I remembered my leftover chicken piccatta. The Three Cheese Chicken Pannini is born!
I took two slices of bread and put on some cheddar jack. Then to one side I added some Feta, and to the other side I added my all time favorite condiment…Frank’s Red Hot.
Then it was time for the chicken…man was it tiny! But I’m sure it was a “normal” serving size, bleh.
I put some olive oil into a pan, and while I was eating I nibbled on some Feta. I just can’t help myself around cheese!
When the pan was hot, I put both sides down on the pan to let the cheese melt before I attempted to flip it. I miracusoly flipped without the shredded cheese going everywhere, then I smashed it with my awesome $10 pannini press. I got it at HomeGoods a couple years ago. It doesn’t leave the cool griddle marks, but it smooshes the bread perfectly to make an amazing crispy crust!
It was done only a few minutes later, and I could smell a hint of hot sauce…that’s when you know it’s perfectly spicy.
A girl can’t eat a pannini without any sides, so I busted out the Wholly Guacamole I bought (I tried to make fresh but the avocados at Publix sucked a$$). Then I tossed a few tortilla chips on my plate. I couldn’t believe the guac was actually really good! I would definitely buy it again.
While I was watching The Office reruns on TBS, I got a major chocolate craving. I grabbed my go to craving buster… a Dove dark chocolate promise. It hit the spot. A couple minutes later Jay came home and burped in my face…not cool! The wonderful chocolate taste I had was all gone.
"Be a little naughty with your nice" I like it!!
i need to make some pea/gauc tonight! i was going to buy a bag of avocados from WF the other day but remembered that there was a $1 off coupon for wholly guacamole on their website! check it out!
That sandwich looks delicious. I love anything with cheese.
Ahhh I’m OBSESSED with Frank’s!
I felt the same way about Wholly Guacamole and it’s great, right? This post contains three of my favorite foods: guac, hot sauce, and dove dark chocolate. YUM!
Yum! I love panini sandwiches – and I especially love Feta. I’m the same way – I always snack on it when I’m cooking with it.
Wholly guac is pretty decent – I prefer homemade, but for store bought it’s actually pretty tasty. I usually always have some in the fridge for a quick fix 
Ah I love Frank’s Red Hot so much!!! And Dove chocolate…perfection (maybe not together)
That sandwich looks great! I really want to get a panini maker. That is something to add to my registry!
Dove chocolate is the best!
bahaha the perfect choco-note! =) Great idea for the panini! I wanted one yesterday and had to make a quesadilla instead since it’s the closest thing I had. and oh yeah I made it on the panini maker! haha! mwah!
