My Nebraska-native husband loves Reuben sandwiches and anything with chicken, so I combined his two favorites in a fun roll-up. —Ashli Kottwitz, Hermitage, Tennessee

Ingredients

2 slices swirled rye and pumpernickel bread
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 slices Swiss cheese
2 slices deli corned beef
2 tablespoons Thousand Island salad dressing
Additional Thousand Island salad dressing, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Tear bread into 2-in. pieces; place in a blender. Cover and pulse to form coarse crumbs; transfer to a shallow bowl.
Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness; sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. Top with cheese and corned beef. Roll up chicken from a short side; secure with toothpicks. Brush outsides with dressing; roll in bread crumbs.
Place roll-ups on a greased baking sheet, seam side down. Bake until chicken is no longer pink, 20-25 minutes. Discard toothpicks; if desired, serve with additional dressing.

Health Tip: A traditional Reuben sandwich can have upwards of 700 calories, 40 g fat and nearly 3,000 mg sodium! This roll-up has all the flavor without the obligatory post-dinner workout.

SOOO easy and soooo good. I have made them twice in the last 3 weeks and that is very unusual for me to repeat a recipe that soon. The second time I made them I also brushed the inside with the thousand island as well as the outside and it was much more moist. But either way GREAT!!!
