Hey hey! Can you believe it’s August?? Kind of snuck up on us and this Summer has been flying by, but we’ve been trying to soak up every bit of it along the way. Lately it has been so hot though, I’ve been opting for really quick meals that won’t use my oven and make the house even hotter.

Sandwiches are a great way to go when you need something quick, easy, and healthy – especially in the warmer Summer months!

This Mediterranean chicken panini is one of my family’s new favorites. It starts with whole grain bread which is a great, sturdy base for a panini!

Top that whole grain bread with a zesty lemon and garlic split pea hummus, seasoned grilled chicken, and melty provolone cheese and you’ve got yourself one heck of a tasty sandwich ready in less than 30 minutes.

Wait, did she just say split pea hummus?? YES! Split peas aren’t just for split pea soup my friends, and they are the star of this super delicious hummus! I promise you it’s what makes this sandwich so incredible.

Did you know that split peas are part of the pulses family? If you haven’t heard, pulses include split peas, lentils, chickpeas and beans, and they’re the perfect ingredient to add to your diet if you’re looking to eat healthier!
