Ingredients
-
1.5 pounds
boneless skinless chicken breast
-
1 cup
store-bought pesto sauce
-
1/2 cup
plain low-fat Greek yogurt
-
6 ounces
sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
-
green leaf lettuce
-
Sprouted Grain bread
Directions
-
Trim excess fat from chicken breasts.
-
In a large pot, add chicken and fill the pot with enough water to cover the chicken by an inch. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of pepper.
-
Bring to a boil and reduce heat so that the liquid is still simmering - just hot enough for bubbles to barely break the surface. Cover pot and continue to cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
-
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine pesto, Greek yogurt and ½ teaspoon salt then set aside. Rough chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
-
Once cooked, remove chicken from the pot and allow to cool. Chop into ½-inch pieces - or adjust the size as you prefer.
-
Add chicken and sun-dried tomatoes to the yogurt/pesto mixture, and combine thoroughly.
-
Rinse/dry lettuce, then build sandwiches to your liking using the sun-dried pesto chicken, lettuce, and Sprouted Grain bread!
