Vegan Chicken Panini

Tuesday, July 14, 2009
Oh me, oh my! I threw this together last night and it was absolutely delish!

What you'll need:

"Ezekiel" brand hamburger buns
"Quorn" brand meatless chicken breast
Organic Lettuce
Organic Sliced Sundried Tomatoes
1/4 red pepper, sliced
Avacado
Organic Lime Juice
Lemon Pepper
Slice of Dairy Free Cheddar Cheese
Dairy Free Ranch dressing- read bottom of this blog for recipe


1) Seed the Avacado, mash in small bowl, add 2 tbsp Lime Juice, and 1 tbsp of Lemon Pepper. Mix. Set aside.
2) Grill/Bake chicken breast. Lay your cheese on chicken breast to melt, then set chicken breast on bun.
3) Spread Avacado mix on the top bun.
4) Add condiments, and whatever else you might feel in the mood for:
Lettuce, Sundried Tomatoes, Red pepper, and top with Ranch dressing. Grill your little sandwhich in your Panini maker. Enjoy!

Oh my! I know it sounds weird, but it is sooooooooo good and HEALTHY!!!





For Dairy Free Ranch Dressing:
Ingredients
1 cup Veganaise
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
7 1/2 tablespoons soymilk
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
1) Mix lemon juice and soy milk and let sit for 10 minutes. (An easier way to think about the measurement is to pour 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice into a measuring cup and add soy milk until it reaches 1/2 cup.)
2) In a large bowl, whisk together the Veganaise, lemon juice and soy milk mixture, chives, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
3) Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

    Thanks for that recipe but also for the Ranch dressing. I LOVE veganaise (especially in potato salad) and I always use soy milk now. Do you think I can get those "chicken" breasts at Sprouts or Central Market?

    Yup! I get them from Central Market. I've been to Sprouts a few times. It doesn't have the variety but they might just have it. I'll call them and send you a text to let you know about the "chicken". I'm so proud of your healthy habits!
