Ingredients

• 1 piece (approximately 200g) Skinless boneless chicken breast
• 1 squirt Olive oil spray
• 60 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces Whole grain bread slices
• 0.5 piece Red onion
• 1 piece Tomato
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) or your toaster oven to the highest setting.

Step 2

Spray a non-stick grill pan or skillet with a squirt of olive oil spray and heat it over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Place the chicken breast in the heated pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into thin strips.

Step 6

While the chicken is resting, finely slice the red onion and tomato.

Step 7

Toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown.

Step 8

Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on each of the toasted bread slices.

Step 9

On two of the bread slices, layer a leaf of lettuce, sliced chicken, a few slices of red onion, and tomato.

Step 10

Divide the reduced-fat cheddar cheese equally and sprinkle over the tomato slices.

Step 11

Place the remaining slices of toasted bread on top to create sandwiches.

Step 12

Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Step 13

Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
