...and the results are in....the Tuscan Chicken Meatball sandwiches were a hit!! I will be honest - I have never worked with ground chicken and I had my doubts, but they were sooo yummy!! I will share with you my modifications...
1) I couldn't find sundried tomato pesto -- so, made my own by using my mini food processor and combining an 8 oz jar of sundried tomatoes, a big squeeze of garlic, salt, pepper, basil, parsley, and minced onion (loosely using this recipe - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sun-dried-tomato-pesto/)
2) I have no idea was the Garlic Everything Spread is - so, I made my own garlic bread topping with melted butter, garlic, and garlic salt.
3) I totally forgot to add the sun-dried tomato mayo, that would have been an outstanding addition!
4) I made the meatballs early in the day, then heated them up while I toasted the garlic bread and cooked the French fries.
5) I used Italian cheese instead of plain parmesan...I like the flavor of the 5 cheese variety, although I am sure the parmesan would be great too.
I think that's it - you could totally double the recipe and save some for another time. Also, you could use ground beef and I think it would work out just as well. ...in fact, my guys asked for that! smile emoticon Yeah - another one to add to the mix!
