What is a healthy sandwich using fresh chicken?




CLICKY HER


I have some fresh chicken that was pretty recently cooked. What are some sandwiches that are low calorie and use chicken? The lowst calorie bread i have is dark rye bread (70 calories per slice) (but i only have one slice left), or the next lowest is 100% whole wheat bread at 90 calories per slice. So the only way i could use the dark rye is if i had an open faced, or a half sandwich. What are some good recipes that you would suggest? Please not too much cooking or presperation, and please include the calorie count of the sandwich, Thank you so much! (btw, this isnt the only kind of recipe i want, but i particularly like spicy chicken sandwiches)


Answer
CHICKEN SALSA SANDWICH GRILL

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup salsa
3 whole garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 hamburger buns
4 large lettuce leaves
seasoned salt
pepper
a few drops fresh lemon juice (optional)

In a skillet, saute chicken with garlic cloves for 5-7 minutes on each side until chicken is white and opaque or until done (165°F). Turn garlic cloves until both sides achieve a roasted appearance, then crush them into the oil using a fork. Remove if the cloves begin to brown, as this will make the oil bitter.

Meanwhile, brush hamburger buns lightly with a few drops of olive oil (or melted butter if preferred) and broil or toast until lightly golden on the inside.

Remove skillet from heat. Slice each chicken breast into 3 or 4 pieces and divide evenly onto toasted buns. Sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt and pepper, and a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice, if desired.

Top with salsa and shredded cheese; run under broiler just until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.

Variation: This can be prepared on the outdoor grill. Marinate chicken breasts in olive oil into which the garlic cloves have been pressed for 30 minutes before grilling chicken over hot coals.

Makes 4 Servings.

Healthy caming recipes?

Im looking for recipes to use when camping and using a fire pit or table top grill. I need ones that are somewhat healthy thanks.


Answer
1. Pancakes: Mix up whole-wheat pancake mix before you leave, using dried egg and dried buttermilk, so all youâll need to add at the campsite is water. The wheat fiber will keep you full and energized for an active day of hiking, biking, boating and late-night campfire conversation.

2. Hearty oatmeal: Try my yummy make-ahead recipe (below). Itâs less sugary than packaged instant oatmeal.

3. Trail mix: Make your own trail mix with an assortment from the bulk foods aisle of your supermarket, including nuts, dried fruits, seeds, and carob or chocolate chips. The trail mix can double as a sprinkle on oatmeal.

4. Tuna melts: Make tuna melts on crackers or toasted bread with tuna from a pouch and slices of individually wrapped cheese on top. Heat on grill until cheese melts.

5. Grilled-cheese sandwiches or panini: Toast them over the hot fire.

6. Veggie dogs or turkey dogs: Theyâre better for you than regular hot dogs.

7. Veggie ramen: Combine ramen noodles and chopped fresh vegetables (or freeze-dried ones) and low-sodium hot broth made from a powder or liquid concentrate. (If you use the flavoring packets that come with the ramen noodles, only add in about half the packet to cut back on sodium. I promise, itâll still be plenty flavorful!)

8. Rice pilaf or couscous: Prepare according to package directions; combine with your choice of fresh vegetables, mushrooms, dried fruit and nuts.

9. Kebobs: Thread pieces of mushrooms, green pepper, cherry tomatoes, fresh fruit, extra-firm tofu or seitan, chicken or beef onto metal or wooden skewers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and/or brush with a marinade. Cook over an open fire until the vegetables soften and meat is cooked through.

10. Potatoes: Before leaving for your trip, cook whole potatoes in the oven or microwave until theyâre just tender when pierced with a fork; pack whole. Prepare at campsite as stuffed potatoes (cut slits in the potatoes and stuff with cheese and shredded beef jerky) or cut up potatoes and sauté in butter or a little oil to serve with breakfast.

11. Hobo stew: On a large piece of aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray or brushed with oil, arrange small chunks of meat, if desired, assorted fresh vegetables, onions, and fresh garlic or garlic powder. Top with a pat of butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and gather up sides of aluminum foil to make a sealed pouch, allowing some room at the top for steam. Cook in the coals for about 10 minutes.

12. Chili: Make chili in a camp oven with cans of beans, tomatoes and corn, seasoned with powdered chili spice. Bring cornbread mix to make in a cast iron skillet, or make it at home.

13. Grilled fish: Packed in ice for the first night, salmon or tilapia will make a luscious dinner cooked over the fire. Try my easy yet fabulous recipe (below) for Foil-Wrapped Trout with Arugula and Onions.

14. Grilled fruit: Grilling really brings out the flavor of stone fruits, for a satisfyingly sweet finish. Halve peaches, plums or other stone fruit and remove the pit. Grill cut side down until the fruit begins to brown and soften, then turn over and grill a few minutes on the other side, sprinkling with brown sugar if desired.

15. Baked apples: Core apples, fill with brown sugar and raisins and top with a pat of butter. Wrap in aluminum foil, set in coals and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes.
