3 Chef Monica C oulter I joined General Mills in 2004 with a Master s in Nutrition and a culinary degree. Not having any children of my own, I was surprised when I was assigned the K-12 segment. I had no idea this role would awaken such a lifelong passion. I discovered that I adored you all foodservice workers your collaborative nature, your heartfelt dedication, and just all around sense of fun. The students are incredible, from the wide-eyed little ones all the way up to the gawky, trying-to-pass-for-adults teenagers. To be able to combine my love for creating healthy foods with figuring out ways to support busy Operators and their teams while helping feed children has truly made this position my dream job. I hope you and your students enjoy these sandwich recipes as much as I ve enjoyed creating the recipes for you. 3

6 A note from Chef Monica: How to use this book I wanted to give you two options on how to make this sandwich. You could jazz up your normal turkey sandwich simply by replacing your breads with Pillsbury Breads to make a Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich" or you could make the sandwich a little more exciting for your students and use my recipe with Pillsbury Breads to make a "Chicken Apple Salad style sandwich. Make a Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich" just by swapping out your sandwich breads with Pillsbury Breads and keeping your usual ingredients or use the additional ingredients from the right side to make it Chicken Apple Salad" ciabatta sandwich. Most of my inspiration comes from cafeteria heroes like you, so these tips mention the recipes I ve used to plus up these sandwiches! Find these recipes in the back, in the Index & More section! Here are my instructions on how I d recommend making your sandwich a "Chicken Apple Salad one. I ve focused on making hot Panini sandwiches and cold Ciabatta sandwiches, but these breads are as versatile as you make them! The icons here show whether this sandwich is hot or cold. I always think in terms of whole meals and so I also wanted to provide you with a suggested menu pairing of mine for this sandwich. Measurements are in orange = grain, red = meat, green = vegetable, yellow = fruit. You can see how it comes together in the picture on the left! 6 Note: To determine contributions towards meal pattern requirements, please consult the USDA Food Buying Guide, a manufacturer s Product Formulation Statement, or CN label.
