Back To School - The BISTRO Way

It's that time again - Back To School. As hard as we try to provide healthy meals and snacks for our kids they're only healthy is the kids eat them. Here's a great alternative that is packed with flavors kids love, and the critical protein, whole grains, and vitamins they need daily to be at their best.

The BISTRO Chicken Panini (makes 2 sandwiches)

Featuring: Better Than A Bistro Antibiotic Free Chicken Cutlets

Ingredients:

• 2 grilled Better Than A Bistro Antibiotic Free Chicken Cutlets (you may shred chicken if desired)
• 2 slices cooked bacon
• 4 slices bread
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon pesto
• 2 slices of your favorite cheese

Preparation:

1. Heat a George Foreman grill or panini maker
2. Spread butter on one side of each piece of bread
3. Flip 2 pieces of bread over. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of pesto on the un-buttered side of each slice of bread. Top with bacon, chicken, then cheese.
4. Top with the remaining 2 slices of bread, buttered sides facing out. Grill the panini sandwiches until golden. 

Cut sandwiches in half and wrap tightly in foil as soon as they're ready. By lunch time they will still be warm.
