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
- 0 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
Directions
Step 1
Start by seasoning the chicken breast with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly spray it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
While the chicken is resting, lightly spray one side of each slice of whole wheat bread with olive oil.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Top with the second slice of bread, oiled side facing out.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice in half and serve warm.
