Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 spray Olive oil spray
• 2 slices Swiss cheese
• 0.5 cup Sauerkraut (drained)
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat Thousand Island dressing
• 4 pieces Rye bread slices (light or reduced-calorie)
• 2 sprays Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil spray. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken rests, prepare the other sandwich components. Drain the sauerkraut to ensure it is not watery.

Step 4

Spread 1 tablespoon of the low-fat Thousand Island dressing on one side of two slices of rye bread.

Step 5

Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the dressing on each piece of bread, followed by half the sauerkraut and one cooked chicken breast per sandwich.

Step 6

Top with the remaining slices of rye bread to assemble the sandwiches.

Step 7

Lightly spray both sides of each sandwich with cooking spray or olive oil spray.

Step 8

Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy your light and delicious Chicken Reuben sandwiches!
