Summer's ultimate sandwich offers a yin and yang of special flavors and casual presentation. The creamy spread and heart-healthy avocado will light up your taste buds. Everyone I've shared this sandwich recipe with makes it over and over again. Ingredients:
1/2 cup canola oil |
1/4 cup lime juice |
4 teaspoons ground cumin |
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
1 cup fat-free spreadable cream cheese |
1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro |
1/4 cup chopped red onion |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
8 whole wheat hamburger buns, split |
2 medium tomatoes, sliced |
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the oil, lime juice and cumin. Add the chicken; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cilantro, onion, salt and pepper; chill until serving.
2. Drain and discard marinade. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°.
3. Spread cream cheese mixture onto buns. Layer with tomatoes, chicken and avocado; replace bun tops. Yield: 8 servings.
