Chicken and Arugula Sandwiches

 

Colorful, delicious and easy-to-make...
 

6 Tbs 

 

plain nonfat yogurt or lowfat mayonnaise

 

4 tsp 

 

dijon mustard

 

˝ cup 

 

chopped arugula

 

 

 

freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

2 large 

 

red bell peppers

 

Four 4-ounce 

 

boneless skinless chicken breasts

 

 

 

salt to taste

 

1 tsp 

 

olive oil

 

Six 5-inch 

 

baguettes, French bread or rolls, cut lengthwise into halves

 

2 large 

 

bunches of arugula

 

 

1

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.

2

Char bell peppers over a gas flame or broil until the skin is blistered and blackened on all sides. Immediately place the bell peppers in a resealable plastic bag and seal tightly. Allow to steam in the bag for 10 minutes. Peel and seed the bell peppers and cut into ˝-inch strips.

3

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.

4

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.

 

Yield: 6 sandwiches

 

 Cooking Tips

*To save time, sub commercially prepared roasted bell peppers for the fresh bell peppers.

**To ensure even cooking of the chicken, pound it down to uniform size before cooking.

Hey, This One's a Keeper!- would make it again.  "Great sandwich for a weekday meal.  Terrific one for entertaining too.  Easy fresh flavors.  Make extra spread for more flavor."
