Healthy Choice Chicken Basil Panini
(Dried White Chicken, Three Cheeses, Diced Tomatoes, Spinach and Roasted Onions With Creamy Basil Sauce, On Italian Bread)
Cook time is approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds, although I had to have my work microwave cook it for 3 minutes and 30 seconds to heat it up fully. Also, to get it cripsy, you have to fold the box into a raised platform and cook the panini on the foil-esque tray it came wrapped upon. Let it cool after microwaving for a minute, then fold the 2 halves together to make a sandwich. Watch out…it’s hot.
I hadn’t had a good panini since I moved away from my local Genuardi’s. I used to get their Chicken Panini. So today when I didn’t have time to go home for lunch, I went to Wegmans and grabbed this frozen meal, a side of presliced apples and a bottle of “Honest Tea” Green Tea. (I’ll be honest, first choice was Taco Bell. Then Quiznos. Then Subway. Then I finally sucked it up and got the healthy lunch.)
And it was great. While I wouldn’t say that it grills in the microwave (it was pre-grilled and you’re just heating it up) the bread was crispy and the contents stayed in the sandwich while I ate it. I was skeptical at first, because it seems so much teenier than a sandwich that I would regularly make for myself. (Portion control, my downfall.) But wouldn’t you know that with my apples and tea, I’m properly filled up!
