Chicken, Peppers and Cheese Panini Sandwich

December 17, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 5 Comments

EDITED RECIPE – I forgot to add the tomato slices

Hello and Happy Saturday!

I can’t believe how fast the time is going!  Next week is Christmas already.  Are you done Christmas shopping?  I like to think I am, but I need to check my list to make sure I didn’t forget anyone.

This was the first year I actually didn’t use my credit cards, no cross that, after my last cc bill, I realized I can no longer use them, I WAY over spent, so the last remaining gifts, which was most, I paid cash.  Talk about hard.  However, you tend to be more aware of your spending when your not using a credit card.  This Christmas was hard, normally I just buy whatever, but not this year, I had to think good and hard on my gifts, but I think I did ok!  For a bunch of my friends, I told them I would bake them goodies instead of gifts and they were happy with that, since most of them don’t cook, so this weekend is going to be a baking weekend.  So after I am done blogging, I am going to start prepping, making peanut butter, cookie dough and refrigerating it till Sunday for quick baking and I’m making granola!  I just love my baking weekends and tonight is a Christmas party, so no licking the bowl for me!!  Must be good!!!

Ok, first I have to tell you, a good portion of you bloggers are just HORRIBLE!   I saw this on several blog sites, and I thought no, no, no!  Then I saw it again, and said yes, yes, yes!  You know what I’m talking about?  You know who you are!  For those who don’t know, I am talking about this!!!


I saw this at Trader Joe’s about a month ago, picked it up, put it back and I did that a ton of times, then today, I picked it up and put it in my cart.  I rushed home to try it and OMG!  It is so dam good!  Yes I can say dam, it’s worth it.  It tastes like a sugar cookie, it’s so good.  I wish I never bought it.   Trader Joe’s better keep this in stock year round!  I plan on making my Classic Peanut Butter Cookies with this, or maybe a sugar cookie with it?  I don’t know yet, but I’m making some kind of cookie with it, thats of course if I don’t eat the whole jar!  I already made a pretty decent dent in it, and it’s only a few hours old.  If you go to TJ’s be warned, if you buy this, you will love it!!!

Now for my quick meal of the day.  This is so simple, probably not worth posting, since everyone knows how to make a sandwich, but I just have to tell you anyway, it was just that good.  One thing you may not know about me, is that I LOVE sandwiches, but then again you probably do know that since I love bread!  This sandwich was made with leftover garlic chicken from last night.

I used a Panini press to make it, but if you don’t have one you could do the following:  Put the sandwich in a frying pan and top with another frying pan to press it down, or this old trick I learned from Martha Stewart.  Take a brick cover it in aluminum foil and place on sandwich.  I do this when I cook a sandwich on the grill.  It works great!

Another sandwich trick is to cut a huge chunk of bread, pop it on the scale to see what weight you have and rip out the center until you get 3 or 4 oz.  When I used the Ciabatta Bread, it was 5 ounces, so I brought it down to 4 (two servings at 130 calories each) just by taking some of the bread out.  The best part of the sandwich is the bread so you want a large sandwich that you can fill sky high with goodies on the inside!  Taking out the inner bread makes for more room and more peppers for me!!

Chicken, Peppers and Cheese Panini Sandwich

Ingredients:

4oz.  Ciabatta Bread

1.5 oz Chicken – Cooked

1 Roasted Red Pepper – Jarred, large piece, rinsed and pat dried

1/2 oz Lite Mozzarella Cheese – shredded or in thin pieces (Provolone would be good to)

2 slices Tomato

1/3 Cup fresh spinach leaves

1 Tbsp.  Balsamic Dressing – I used Trader Joe’s Fat Free Balsamic

Directions:

Place in this order, Bottom piece of bread, chicken, peppers, cheese, tomato slices and spinach.  Place your dressing on the inside top piece of bread that way the bread soaks up the dressing and it won’t run off your sandwich.

Place in a Panini maker and cook until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Makes 1 large sandwich!

I love sandwiches because you can put whatever you like on it.  It’s quick, filling and so good!  I’m thinking of sandwiches now!  Now I’m thinking of Joey Tribbiani with his love for sandwiches.

Quote from Friends:

Chandler: [Sniffs] This sandwich does smell good…
Joey: Did I tell you to smell my sandwich?!
Chandler: I can`t smell your sandwich??
Joey: NO! Half of the taste is in the smell!! You sucking up all the taste units!
Chandler: OK, I`ll give them back [Exhales]

Lol!

QUESTION:  Do you like sandwiches?  If so what’s your favorite??

Have a wonderful day!  Now time to go make a sandwich!!  🙂

    I have been so wanting to buy that speculoos butter…but have resisted because I know there’s a real and serious danger that I won’t be able to stop eating it once I get my hands on it! If you post a cookie recipe that uses it though, I might have to buy it…

    I do love sandwiches. A good grilled cheese is all I really need!

      I’m making cookies tomorrow with the speculoos butter. I’ll be thinking of you! That stuff is really dangerous, I wouldn’t buy it!! It’s not really to healthy either, but it so good!

    Oh, YUM! I have heard about the Biscoff butter, but not the speculoos variety! I am very afraid I’d love both! And your sandwich looks darn tasty, too…and I love the idea of removing some of the bread 🙂

    Wow – that is one delicious looking sandwich! I understand about paying cash and how you really have to think about your presents…Honey Bunny and I only spend $100 on each other for Christmas. When you’re limited, you don’t buy a bunch of junk…you really THINK about what you buy!

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

Happy Monday! Is there anything better than loungi Happy Monday! Is there anything better than lounging in bed reading a book to your fur babies? The boys 🐶🐶 just loved it. 
🐾
The boys will do anything to get on the bed, especially when you put on the @downlitebedding. I know you have heard me say it before, but they love there Downlite Bedding comforters and pillows. I have never seen 2 dogs get so excited.
🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!
