Everyone compliments this great meal in a sandwich, which is much easier than it looks to prepare.–Bernice Janowski of Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 jar (7 ounces) roasted sweet red peppers, drained and cut into strips
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 Italian rolls (6 inches), split
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup Alfredo sauce, warmed

Directions

Combine the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper; sprinkle over chicken. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 8-10 minutes on each side or a thermometer reads 170°, topping with red pepper strips during the last 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the butter, parsley, onion powder and garlic powder; brush over cut sides of rolls. Place cut side up on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned.
On each roll bottom, layer 1/4 cup spinach, 1 tablespoon Alfredo sauce, a chicken breast half and another tablespoon of Alfredo sauce. Replace roll tops.

I should think you could lighten it up quite a bit. use only 2-2 1/2 oz chicken breast. Grill the chicken and omit the oil and omit the butter entirely, and use a light hamburger roll (100 calorie kind)

This is heavy on the claories and fat. Maybe a lighter version would be better.
