Meal 1: Chicken Caprese Sandwiches
Nothing beats a delicious caprese sandwich on a warm summer day!
Essentials: Grill or slow cooker; bread knife, cutting boards, meat thermometer, two large or dinner forks for shredding.
Wash tomatoes and basil and allow to dry on a paper towel. Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, and remove basil leaves from the stems. Set in place where you will assemble the sandwiches.
Slice 4 Market 32 Bakery Sub Rolls in half. (Tip – consider toasting, especially if you are grilling the chicken.)
Prep 1 – Oftentimes, restaurants will make this wonderful sandwich with a thin chicken cutlet, quick-grilled to juicy perfection and topped with the signature fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil that defines the Caprese combo. If you decide to grill the chicken, consider a quick brining, and cook all 3 pounds at the same time. Use the meat thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature, getting the chicken off the grill as soon as it hits about 160 degrees F, (measured in the center of the thickest part of the cutlet or tender) and wrap in clean foil/rest (off the grill) for about 5 more minutes, to finish cooking and reabsorb juices. Check the temperature again when you unwrap the foil, to be sure it is 165 degrees, recommended for food safety. Place the grilled cutlet on the sliced roll, and layer on the tomato, basil, and sliced mozzarella. The remaining chicken can be stored in a container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Prep 2 – Another way to keep the kitchen cool is to cook all the chicken with a cup of water or low sodium chicken broth in the slow cooker (about 4 hours on low, or when it reaches 165 degrees), then shred and divide it for use in each of these recipes. Hack – use two large forks to shred the chicken in the slow cooker with the cooking juices, or in a flat-bottomed bowl. The shredded chicken can be used for the Caprese sandwich warm or cold. The tender shredded chicken will make it easier to enjoy the sandwich and keep it together for a flavor-full, easy clean up meal. It will also make the other two meals quick and easy!

Meal 2: BBQ Chicken Pizza
Take your pizza to a whole other level with this BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Essentials: Pizza pan, stone or baking sheet, pizza slicer. Optional – cutting board, grater or chef knife, large spatula or pizza peel.
Pantry: PICS Olive Oil, optional apple and/or red or sweet onion.
Food safety tip – Use cooked/leftover chicken only – do not use raw chicken for the topping.
Defrost the pizza dough, if needed, in the refrigerator overnight, then allow it to come to room temperature. It may rise slightly. Use a lightly oiled metal pizza pan, sheet pan or pizza stone, and stretch the dough to fit to the rim of whatever you choose. First-time pizza makers, check this out for dough-licious skill building! Check out this article on Steps to Strecthing Pizza Dough.
Slather a generous amount of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce on the dough (start with ¾ cup and add more as needed) and top with shredded chicken. Tip – up the flavor and nutrition of this meal with some grated red onion and/or thin-sliced fresh apples! Top with rounds of fresh Capiello Mozzarella slices. Hack – for thicker crust, pre-bake the dough for about 6 minutes before adding sauce and toppings. Food safety tip – do not use raw chicken for the topping. Cook for about 15 minutes, until dough edges are a rich brown and the mozzarella is melted and bubbling on top.

Meal 3: Chicken Caesar Wraps
If you like chicken caesar salads, then you are sure to LOVE this wrap!
Essentials: Salad spinner, medium-sized mixing bowl, cutting board, serrated knife, ¾ cup measure, large mixing spoon or spatula.
Pantry: Optional, fresh grated or shredded Market 32 Parmesan.
Wash romaine lettuce, at least 2 large leaves per wrap. Use a salad spinner to dry it so the flour tortilla wrap doesn’t get soggy. Chop the lettuce as you like – about 1-inch sized pieces makes it easy to enjoy.
Place shredded chicken in a bowl and add a generous amount of Ken’s Ceasar Dressing (3/4 cup to start, then add more to taste if needed.)
Add the lettuce to the chicken mixture and toss lightly. Place a flour tortilla on each plate and spoon out even servings down the middle of the wrap. Sprinkle fresh Parmesan on the mixture to taste. Roll the filling in the tortilla and fold in the ends to secure.
Enjoy!
