Chicken Parmesan Quesa-nini

What's with that name? Well, this started out in my head as a panini. Once made, it resembled more of a quesadilla. So this is the name Clay came up with! Spaghetti sauce has been on sale every week at all of the grocery stores these last few weeks, so I'm stocked. Shannon from The Bargain Buggy and I were brainstorming ideas to use the Flatout bread that Publix had B1G1 this week. This is what we came up with. This is super easy and great for a weeknight dinner.




4 Flatout breads
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
1 cup spaghetti sauce, plus more for dipping
1-1/2 cups shredded mozarella
parmesan cheese

Heat chicken and sauce together in a skillet over medium heat. Preheat panini grill. Lay out the flatbread. Divide half of the cheese evenly among the 4 pieces. Top each with 1/4 of the chicken mixture. Top with remaining cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan. Fold over to cover chicken. Spray panini grill with a cooking spray. Lay the quesa-nini's on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is slightly crisp. Repeat with the other two quesa-nini's.
Remove to a cutting board. Slice into 3 triangles. Serve with additional sauce and a side salad.



Enjoy!

  3. I took the leftovers for lunch and at them cold. Really enjoyed it! My husband (who is picky about a home-packed lunch) really liked it too. He said it was the equivalent of taking cold pizza for lunch :)
