Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3), cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 cup Frank's™ RedHot™ Buffalo Wings Sauce (from 12-oz bottle)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 large red onion, sliced into thin rings
1 teaspoon sugar
4 pita fold breads (6 1/2-inch diameter)
1 oz blue cheese, crumbled (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • In 2- quart saucepan, heat chicken and Buffalo wing sauce to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, 4 to 6 minutes or until starting to brown. Stir in sugar; reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, 6 minutes longer or until onion is caramelized. Set aside.
  • Heat closed contact grill 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, microwave each pita covered with damp paper towel on High 20 to 25 seconds or until soft enough to fold without breaking. Lay pitas flat on work surface. Place one-fourth of the caramelized onion on half of each pita. Using slotted spoon, spoon about 1/3 cup chicken over onion. (Reserve liquid in saucepan to serve with Panini). Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Carefully fold pita over filling. Repeat with remaining pitas.
  • When grill is heated, place sandwich on grill. Close grill; grill 4 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and pita is toasted. Serve panini with reserved sauce.

This panini is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great option for a party or potluck.

I love the combination of flavors in this panini. The chicken is crispy and juicy, the buffalo sauce is spicy and tangy, and the blue cheese dressing is creamy and cooling.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The chicken is cooked in the buffalo sauce, which makes it extra flavorful.
