  • Yield: 4 Servings
30 10 40

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • PEPPER MIXTURE:
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) roasted sweet red peppers, drained and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • SANDWICHES:
  • 1 loaf (8 ounces) focaccia bread
  • 4 teaspoons fat-free mayonnaise
  • 4 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese

Directions

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first six ingredients; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir the onion, sugar and seasonings over medium heat until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 for 1 minute. Stir in roasted peppers and vinegar; cook 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat; keep warm.
  • Drain chicken if necessary, discarding any excess marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
  • Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Cut into 1/2-in. strips.
  • Cut focaccia bread in half lengthwise; spread mayonnaise over cut side of bread bottom. Layer with cheese, chicken strips and pepper mixture. Replace bread top; lightly press down. Grill, covered, for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut into four sandwiches. Yield: 4 servings.

Excellent! Lots of flavor. We loved it. I can't believe the chicken was so flavorful after an hour of marinating, but it was great. I used whole wheat sandwich thins because that was what we had. Will make again soon.

We loved this sandwich. I flattened the chicken breasts fairly thin, maybe 3/8 of an inch thick so they grilled quickly and cooked through evenly. Very flavorful and I think it would taste just as good without the vinegar if you aren't a vinegar fan.
