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.

Answer
How about Turkey Roll Ups-
INGREDIENTS
1 (8 ounce) package fat-free cream cheese
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
1 medium onion, chopped
10 (1 ounce) slices cooked deli turkey breast
Shredded lettuce
DIRECTIONS
In a small mixing bowl, combine the first six ingredients; beat until smooth. Spread over the tortillas. Sprinkle with onion; top with turkey and lettuce. Roll up tightly jelly-roll style; serve immediately.
Nutritional Analysis: One serving (1 each) equals 259 calories, 9 g fat (2 g saturated fat), 17 mg cholesterol, 701 mg sodium, 33 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber, 13 g protein. Diabetic Exchanges: 2 starch, 1 lean meat, 1 fat.
Grilled Sourdough Cheese Sandwich
Sourdough bread
Butter
Chedder Cheese
Havarti Cheese
Tomato Slices
Oragano
Butter each side of the bread, On one slice place a layer of Havarti cheese, then tomato slices, followed by Chedder Cheese slices then the other slice of bread. Brown in a warm skillet sprayed with pam.
Otherwise you could always do a fresh garden salad with veggies.
Or kids always love a veggie tray with carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, etc.. and then having a bunch of dipping sauces like ranch, peanut butter, whatever salad dressing they like, honey mustard, cheese...
Hope that helps!
