Chicken and Mozzarella Melts
Makes 2 servings
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 ozs each)
Nonstick cooking spray
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 tsps prepared pesto sauce
2 small hard rolls, split
6 fresh spinach leaves
4 fresh basil leaves* (optional)
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup (2 ozs) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
*Omit basil leaves if fresh are unavailable. Do not substitute dried basil leaves.
Preheat oven to 350 deg F. Rub garlic on all surfaces of chicken. Spray medium nonstick skillet with cooking, spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in center. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Brush pesto sauce onto bottom halves of rolls; layer with spinach, basil, if desired and tomatoes. Place chicken in rolls; sprinkle cheese evenly over chicken. (If desired, sandwiches may be prepared up to this point and wrapped in aluminum foil. Refrigerate until ready to bake. Bake in preheated 350 deg F oven until chicken is warm, about 20 minutes.)
Wrap sandwiches in aluminum foil; bake about 10 min. or until cheese is melted.
Exchanges: 2 starch, 2-1/2 lean meat, 1 vegetable
