The Spanish Ranch Panini Rsc Food

THE SPANISH RANCH PANINI ! #RSC

Steps:

• Combine 6 tablespoons of the softened butter, and 2 tablespoons of the Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix in a small bowl. Set ranch butter aside.
• Sprinkle 4 teaspoons of the Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix over chicken to season. Over medium high heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, along with seasoned chicken breast to skillet. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes each side to brown. Add water and cover pan with lid to complete cooking. Remove chicken when juices run clear, and chicken is no longer pink. Let rest for about four minutes, then slice each breast horizontally to create 4 thin pieces, or cut chicken into thin vertical strips. Place chicken back into pan and toss in any extra pan drippings, keep warm until needed.
• To create the Spanish Cheese Spread, combine cream cheese, olives, artichokes, pimentos, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese and remaining Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix in a bowl. Stir well to combine.
• If using a Panini maker (the preferred way), adjust to manufactures recommended setting to preheat grill.
• Using the reserved ranch butter, spread butter on top of each slice of bread.
• To create Paninis, place one slice of bread, buttered side down on grill, followed by ¼ of the chicken. Pile ½ cup of baby spinach leaves on top of chicken. On the second slice of bread, spread ¼ of the Spanish Cheese Spread on the bottom or "unbuttered" side. Place bread on top of spinach, buttered side up. Close Panini maker and grill for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown. If you are able, grill 2 Panini's at a time. Keep Paninis in a warm in a 200 degree oven until all sandwiches are complete. Note: If you do not have a Panini maker, no worries, just toast sandwiches in a skillet over medium low heat, for about 4-5 minutes each side, or until bread is golden brown.

WINNER WINNER RANCH CHICKEN DINNER! #RSC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Saute the garlic and shallot on medium heat until soft. Add the spinach, goat cheese and ranch dressing. Stir until well incorporated, add salt and pepper to taste.
• In separate bowls, add ranch dressing and panko mixed with parmesan.
• Take the chicken breasts and make a slit in the thickest part of the chicken to form a pocket. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff the breasts with some of the spinach mixture. Take the toothpicks and thread the chicken shut.
• Take each breast and carefully dip in the dressing, shaking off the excess then dredge in the panko/parmesan mixture, making sure to coat the breasts very well. Place on a baking sheet fitted with a rack coated with cooking spray. Setting the chicken on the rack above the pan will ensure the chicken will be cooked evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked all the way through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9" x 13" x 2" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
• Heat spinach in microwave oven according to package directions, just to thaw it out, not heat it through. Place spinach into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze dry; set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the shallots, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until they begin to soften, approximately 2 - 3 minutes. Add in the reserved spinach, mix to combine; set aside.

• Lay the tortillas in a single layer onto work surface. Evenly divide the chicken mixture between the tortillas, placing it down the center of the tortillas. Start rolling up the tortillas, by folding over an empty end of the tortilla over the filling, then rolling up cigar style. Follow this process for all 6 tortillas.
• Spread 2 - 3 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place rolled tortillas, seam side down, into baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over tortillas, being sure to cover them entirely in sauce. Top with remaining 2 ounces cheese. Cover dish with aluminum foil, place in preheated oven and bake until heated through, approximately 30 - 35 minutes.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH PANINI

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, red pepper, and the blackening seasoning.
• Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to a pan and cook the chicken breasts until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Slice into strips or shred, and set aside.
• Cook the bacon.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of mustard on one half of the bread. Spread a generous amount of ranch dressing on the other half. (Definitely be generous; when the sandwich cooks, these will turn into more of a "sauce.").
• Arrange chicken, bacon slices, and cheese slices on the bottom half. Top with the top slice. Butter both sides of the bread generously, then grill in the panini maker. (If you do not have a panini maker, you can grill the sandwiches in a skillet, laying a heavy skillet on top of the sandwich to press it together. Turn to grill the other side in the same way.).
• Slice in half and gobble it down immediately.
