Busy Busy Dinner

I have been sooooo busy!  I feel like I haven’t had any time to do anything fun, like blogging or online shopping (hehe).  But I have been making sure to get in my exercise.  I just finished marking up my calendar from the past 6 weeks, not too shabby!  Today I’m taking a swimming session with one of the trainers, I’m excited.

A hot, melty, easy-to-make sandwich sounded great to me last night. I had some ham and chicken…so chicken cordon bleu it is! It came out nice and toasty with good flavors. Plus, it only had about 325 calories, perfect for a mini meal.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Panini

* 1 chicken breast (pre-cooked)
* 2 slices ham
* 2 tsp honey mustard
* 2 wedges Laughing Cow Light Swiss
* 4 slices of your favorite bread

Preheat your griddle of panini press to medium. Spread honey mustard on 2 slices of bread and then the cheese on the other 2 slices. On top of the cheese, evenly divide and layer the ham and the chicken. Then place the side with honey mustard on top. Spray the griddle or panini press with olive oil spray. Place the sandwiches on the griddle/press until browned (about 3 mins). Then spray the uncooked side with some olive oil spray and flip over for another 3 minutes (if using a griddle). Then you’re ready to enjoy!

  1. I think it’s been a tough week everywhere – I’ve totally been MIA too and I haven’t shopped recently either, except for the necessities, which I try to purchase online because I don’t have time to shop! I wish I could order groceries online too, because I TOTALLY would!

  2. Drool paninis…. yes please! This one sounds wonderful! How about eggplant with cheese and sauce? I like that one while at home

  3. That sandwich looks amazing! Sounds add but I tried putting apple slices with cheese and giving it a press. Came out really tasty!

  4. That panini looks delicious! What about a buffalo chicken panini or a portabello mushroom panini?! Yum! So many different options to try.

  5. Mmmm, cordon blue panini!!

    Swiss cheese with green apple was a favorite sandwich in college.

    But like another commenter said – cheese + any apple is a good combo.

  6. I loveeeee pesto on paninis!

  7. Gosh that looks so scrumptious!!! My favorite panini is a combination of duck or chicken liver pate, oyster mushrooms and a slice of brie.

  8. That is a BRILLIANT panini idea. My mouth is watering. Must make this asap ;)
