Jerk chicken was the first food I ever decided was a favorite of mine. I have always loved a wide variety of dishes, but it was when my mom asked me what dinner I’d like to have for my tenth birthday that I realized I had my first favorite food. I’ve had a lot of jerk chicken since then, prepared in many different ways. This sandwich shows jerk chicken in its best light, surrounded by the perfect supporting cast. To really make it shine, serve with Mango-Lime Slaw.
You’ve heard of the BEC (Bacon, Egg, and Cheese)? Meet its funkier cousin, the PEC. I’ve got nothing against bacon (unless it’s against my panini press—nothing beats the sound of bacon sizzling on both sides), but sometimes my breakfast needs less grease and more green.
There are few fruits that can go from being a super-healthy snack to a decadent treat as quickly and easily as the banana. Eaten by itself, it’s a quick, calorie-conscious bite on your way out the door. Add a little peanut butter and chocolate-hazelnut spread, and somehow that banana has become dessert. If you need something to top off your cheat day, this Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Banana Panini is just what you’re looking for.
