This was a pretty good sandwich. I never would have thought of using a pizza crust as bread before! I loved that part about it. I will be doing that more often for paninis. I think the chicken salad was a little bit bland though...It needed a little somethin' somethin'. It made for a nice lunch. Thanks so much for posting Nimz! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag.

I made these for my mom and SIL last night for dinner after my niece's 2nd birthday party. What a wonderful dinner! We like things spicy so I added some red pepper flakes to the italian seasoning and increased the jalapenos. I also used canned chicken and onion powder instead of green onion. Thanks for sharing this great recipe, Nimz. Another winner! **Made for Spring PAC 2008**

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
