Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
4 small chicken cutlets*
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
8 thick slices artisanal-style bread
1 (24 ounce) jar RAGÚ® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce

Steps:

  • Mix together the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Place beaten egg in another bowl. Mix together panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third shallow bowl.
  • Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, coating both sides; shake off the extra. Dip chicken in beaten egg, and then press into the breadcrumbs, making sure to coat well on both sides. Set on a plate.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan fry chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Place chicken on slices of bread. Spread about 1/4 cup of Ragu® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce over each piece of chicken. Top with a slice of cheese and a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread. Heat in a panini press or in a large skillet until the cheese is melted. Heat remaining sauce for dipping.

I had some trouble getting the chicken to cook evenly. Otherwise, the panini was delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, so I omitted it from the recipe. The panini was still very good.

This recipe was super easy to follow and the panini turned out great! I used provolone cheese instead of mozzarella and it was still delicious.
