Only 7 pts/ each! I love meatloaf sandwich but they tend to be very points heavy - so this is an alternative and with only 7 pts/each - very do-able! Combined with a tossed salad - this will be dinner or lunch with points to spare! Recipe source: Weight Watchers Magazine (September 2010) Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 red onion, chopped |
1 zucchini, shredded |
3 carrots, shredded |
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped |
1 celery, chopped |
8 mushrooms, chopped |
3 garlic cloves, chopped |
1 1/4 lbs ground chicken |
3/4 cup oatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats) |
1/2 cup applesauce (unsweetened) |
1/2 cup parsley, chopped |
1/4 cup egg substitute (egg beaters) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning |
8 tablespoons catsup (low-sugar) |
12 slices thin multi-grain bread |
12 lettuce leaves |
6 cherry tomatoes, halved (garnish) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with foil.
3. In a skilled over medium heat, heat the oil and then add onion, and cook stirring occasionally until softened (5 minutes). Stir in vegetables (zucchini - celery) until softened (5 minutes). Stir in mushrooms and garlic and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and vegetables cool for about 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile combine the next 7 ingredients (chicken - Italian seasoning) in a bowl. Fold cooled vegetables into chicken mixture and then place mixture into baking pan.
5. Bake for 1 hour or until browned. Let stand in pan for 10 minutes. Unmold and allow to cool.
6. Slice meat loaf into 6 slices.
7. To make sandwiches: spread 1/2 T catsup on each side of bread. Layer bread with lettuce, 1 slice meat loaf, topping with lettuce and bread. Repeat to make six sandwiches. Cut sandwiches in half and garnish with cheery tomato if desired.
