Honey Mustard Chicken

Ingredients:

• Honey Mustard dressing, or dipping sauce of your choice. I used French's Honey Mustard 
• 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded out.. and cut into 4 pieces of chicken (you dont need to pound it out..but I like to)
• 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups Bread crumbs 
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 T of flour
• 2 T EVOO (or cooking oil of your choice)
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Place chicken breasts in a zip lock storage bag. Pour mustard in to coat breasts. Shake it up, so all breast are coated. Then place bag in fridge for 30 minutes.
2. Pour bread crumbs in shallow dish. Season with salt and pepper if you wish.
3. Heat oven to 325 degrees
4. Heat oil in skillet on stove top.
5. Coat each chicken breast with the bread crumbs, and place in skillet. Only browning chicken in skillet. Once each side is browned, place chicken on a cookie sheet, then place in heated oven. Cook chicken until no longer pink. about 30 minutes,(depending on if you pound the chicken or not.)
6. In the skillet pour in about a Tablespoon of the chicken broth to scrape up drippings.
7. Sprinkle in the flour, cook for a few minutes, then pour in 1/2 cup honey mustard.
8. Stir in the rest of the chicken broth. Sauce will thicken. you can add more mustard or ore broth depending on consistency you want.

Copy-Cat Zupas Chicken Pesto Panini

I lived in Utah from 2003- 2012. I had eaten at this place called "Cafe Zupas" It is so yummy! My fav sandwich is the Chicken Pesto Panini! I now live in the Vegas area, and was unable to eat there until recently. They just opened one in Henderson. I wanted to make the sandwich and so I googled it and came across.. this website: http://bakingwithblondie.blogspot.com/
and so here it is:

I dont like cheese or tomatoes so I left it out. But here is the recipe:

Zupas Chicken Pesto Sandwiches Copycat Recipe:

makes 4 sandwiches

 4 ciabatta rolls, sliced in half 

1 large tomato, stem removed, sliced (I left this out)

 about a cup of alfalfa sprouts 

4 slices muenster cheese (I left this out)

1 chicken breast, cooked, cubed 

1 roasted red pepper (I used the ones from the jar = easiest), sliced into small cubes 

1/2 C slivered almonds, toasted

 1 batch of my homemade basil pesto sauce (recipe below) 

1 cup real mayonnaise  

In a bowl, mix together chicken breast, roasted red pepper, slivered almonds, basil pesto, and mayo until just combined. 

Slightly broil your ciabatta rolls in the oven so they're warm and a teeny bit crispy (or, if you're one of those people with a panini-maker... use the heck outta that thing after assembling the sandwich).

I used my George Foreman grill!

Heres the Video of her making it on a local Utah show:
