Juicy chicken, zesty pesto, fresh tomatoes, melty cheese, and crispy lettuce? Don't mind if we do!
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tbsp. chopped plum tomato
1 1/2 tsp. finely chopped red onion
1/4 tsp. balsamic vinegar
1/8 tsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. dry pesto sauce mix (like the kind by Knorr)
1 tsp. light mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. olive oil
One 4-oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast cutlet, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
Dash each salt and black pepper
1 slice Sargento Reduced-Fat Provolone cheese
One 100-calorie flat sandwich bun (like Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Sandwich Thins), lightly toasted (optional)
1/4 cup shredded lettuce
Directions:
To make the tomato topping, in a small bowl, combine tomato, onion, vinegar, and garlic. Mix well.
To make the pesto mayo, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine sauce mix with 1 tbsp. water. Stir well. Microwave for 15 seconds. Stir and microwave for 10 seconds. Add mayo and oil, and stir until uniform.
Bring a grill pan (or skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until chicken is cooked through. Top chicken with cheese and cover and cook until melted, about 1 minute.
Spread pesto mayo on the bottom half of the bun. Top with lettuce, cheesy chicken, and tomato topping, followed by the top bun. Eat up!
