Ingredients
- Italian Chicken Sandwich
- 12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup green sweet pepper strips (1 medium)
- 3/4 cup red sweet pepper strips (1 medium)
- 3/4 cup thinly sliced onion (1 medium)
- 2/3 cup light roasted red pepper-and-garlic-flavored pasta sauce
- 4 rosemary-and-olive oil-flavored foldable flatbreads
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped mild banana peppers
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh basil
Preparation
Step 1
Season chicken with Italian seasoning. In a large nonstick skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium heat about 5 minutes or just until brown. Stir in green pepper, red pepper, and onions. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes more or until vegetables are just tender. Stir in pasta sauce; heat through.
Spoon chicken mixture evenly onto one side of each flatbread. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, banana peppers, and basil. Fold flatbreads in half (sandwiches will be full).
Preheat a covered indoor grill, panini press, grill pan, or large skillet. Place sandwiches, half at a time, in grill. Cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until browned and cheese is melted. (If using a grill pan or skillet, place sandwiches on grill pan or skillet. Weight sandwiches down* and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bread is toasted. Turn sandwiches over, weight them down, and cook about 2 minutes more or until toasted and cheese is melted.)
