Chicken, Jack Cheese, and Tomato on Garlic Bread
Prep Time: 10 min.
Cook Time: 15 min.
Makes: 4 Servings


3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz. each) (We just butterflied it)
1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 baguette (8 oz.) halved lengthwise (Not to be confused with french bread!)
1 clove garlic (We used minced)
4 tsp. Dijon mustard
4 slices reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese (about 3 oz.) (We used a Mexican Fiesta shredded mix since it was the only one that was reduced fat with Jack cheese in it)
1 large tomato, cut into 8 slices
8 fresh basil leaves (We just used dry and sprinkled it on)
Our other additions:
Coriander
Garlic powder
 

1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Toss the chicken with the oil, salt, pepper, coriander, garlic powder. Coat a nonstick grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side or until cooked through but still juicy (We just threw it on the grill- Adds a fantastic flavor!). At this point the recipe says to thinly slice the cooked chicken- We didn't, it seems kind of dumb to if you butterfly the chicken before cooking. It's the perfect size this way. 
3. Meanwhile, place the baguette on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until toasted. Let cool slightly, then rub the cut sides of the bread with the garlic clove. Spread with the mustard. Arrange the cheese over the bottom half of the baguette and return to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove from the oven and top with tomato, basil, sliced chicken, and the top half of the bread. Cut crosswise into 4 sandwiches.

Serve with salad made with romaine lettuce, chopped tomato, and 70 calories worth of dressing- See your dressing bottle for serving size.
