Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approx. 6 oz) Skinless boneless chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- Olive oil spray
- 2 slices Whole wheat sandwich bread
- 1 slice Low fat cheddar cheese slice
- 2 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 slice Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breast with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly spray it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breast on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is resting, lightly spray one side of each slice of whole wheat bread with olive oil.
On the non-oiled side of one bread slice, spread Dijon mustard evenly. Then place the low fat cheddar cheese slice, grilled chicken breast, lettuce leaves, and tomato slice.
Top with the second slice of bread, oiled side facing out.
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, place the sandwich and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice in half and serve warm.
