Cooking Partner: My mom
The recipe in a few words: low-cal, fresh, well-seasoned
What I liked about this recipe: It is flavorful and very colorful. Well seasoned. The chicken is fully cooked and the chipotle sauce – THAT is perfect!
What I would change about this recipe: I would try it with a bang bang sauce to spread on the break and then the chipotle sauce tossed with the chicken. Or I would try earthy seasoning with it like herbs.
My recommendation: I would recommend this to everyone for a summer meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 lime, halved
- boneless chicken breasts, flattened slightly
- 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
- 2 tablespoons light mayo
- 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce from the canned chipotle
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 slices swiss cheese
- whole wheat hamburger buns
- romaine lettuce leaves
- thin slices of red onion
Recipe:
- Squeeze juice from half of lime over the chicken. Spray grill with nonstick cooking spray and prepare grill for direct cooking.
- Combine sour cream, mayo, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and salt in blender and process until smooth.
- Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 10 minutes. Turn and sprinkle with black pepper. Grill 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Move the chicken off the grill and squeeze remaining lime half over chicken and top with cheese.
- Assemble your sandwich with the buns, chipotle mixture, lettuce, chicken, and onion. Enjoy!
