Notes

Nutrition Facts Info does not include toppings.
Again not to shout Pampered Chef™ all over, but the Grill Pan and Press was super convenient in cooking the chicken breasts quick. I seasoned them with a pinch of salt and pepper, and a light rub of the Ancho chile powder for a bit more of a kick. Then cooked them for 3 minutes, flipped them and cooked for 3 more minutes. Easy peasy.
