These are one of my favorite easy to fix, but healthy foods! We have Jenn-Air grill installed in our kitchen so we are able to grill year round. I’ll buy fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts at the grocery store. Then maybe for lunch or dinner, I’ll pull out one of the breasts and place it on the grill on high. After the one side is cooked pretty well, I’ll flip it over, and start grilling the other side.
As this is cooking, I’ll put out the bread. I’ll spread a thin coat of mayonaise. When I wanted REALLY low fat, I used fat-free Miracle Whip. But it doesn’t taste as good. I’ll have to try Hellman’s reduced fat mayonaise, and see how it tastes on a chicken sandwich. Then I’ll place a leaf of lettuce on the mayo. Either Iceberg lettuce, or Romaine lettuce will work. Then next comes a slice of tomato. I like beefsteak, because they are big, and a slice will cover most of the sandwich.
Now as the other side of the chicken seems to be done grilling, I’ll put the chicken off the grill, and slice down the middle into two thinner slabs of chicken. If the middle isn’t fully cooked, I’ll place then back onto the grill.
When these are fully cooked, I’ll slice each of these into two thinner slabs. I will use two of these thin chicken slabs for each sandwich. So one chicken breast will yield two sandwiches.
There is nothing like a warm freshly made grilled chicken sandwich! Yummy!
