Calories: 333kcal
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt or low fat mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ cup chopped arugula
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 whole red peppers, cut into strips
- Four 4-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- salt, to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Six 5-inch baguettes, French bread or rolls, cut lengthwise into halves
- 2 large bunches arugula
Instructions
- Combine yogurt and mustard in a bowl and mix well. Stir in chopped arugula and season with pepper. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Brush a nonstick skillet with the olive oil and sauté the chicken in the oil for 4 minutes per side or until cooked through. Cool slightly and slice diagonally into strips.
- Spread 2 teaspoons of the yogurt mixture on the cut sides of each bread half. Layer 1 bunch of arugula and the chicken over bottom halves. Top with roasted bell pepper strips, remaining arugula and remaining bread halves. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for up to 4 hours.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking of the chicken, pound it down to uniform size before cooking.
